Celebrating 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 are from Long Beach, CA and love playing a variety of musical genres. I have just over 150 students in 5 classes: Beginning Band, Beginning Orchestra, Intermediate Band, Intermediate Orchestra, and Music Appreciation.
Despite any challenges faced at home, my students come to school each day with a desire to actively participate and learn more about music.
In my music class students have the opportunity to work collaboratively, practice life long skills, express their emotions through music, and learn the value of working hard to reach goals.
My Project
Last year our music program grew from 110 students to over 150 students. While my students are lucky to have instruments to play, we have a critical need for sheet music to perform at school activities and concerts.
There has been research that connects engagement in music with enhancements in English literacy.
The best way for students to learn how to read music is to regularly practice reading music.
Individual pieces of sheet music can be expensive, but the band and orchestra books selected for this project each contain many pieces of music. This means that by funding my project you will be providing students music literacy opportunities for years to come.
