Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

My students are exceptionally hard workers. Many of them come from backgrounds in which they have to work part-time jobs, take care of their families, as well as manage their academics and extra-curricular activities.

My students continue to change my life daily.

Many people often think a classroom is centered around a teacher teaching students, but the truth is, I learn more about hard work, dedication, and persistence every day I am around them. Please continue to support my amazing and dedicated musicians in whatever we may need!

My Project

A key part of playing a stringed instrument is making sure that all of the strings are in tune before we dive into anything else. Generally, we teach students to tune their instruments with their aural skills. However, with the aid of these tuners, our students will be able to independently check whether or not they are in tune.

Making sure your individual instrument is in tune helps everybody in the ensemble.

It ensures that a student can focus on getting the rest of your notes in tune and ensures that each student can take the first step to contribute to the musicality of the ensemble. Please help us get a class set of tuners going so that we can fine-tune all of our other musical skills!
