We are a Title One school located in an urban, but poverty stricken area. The problems they face are diverse, but they do not let those challenges beat them. They are curious, independent, thoughtful, creative and musical students.
The students at my school are full of energy and excitement for music.
The joy they have when they come into my classroom is imminent, and they are more than willing to move, create and inspire others.
I see my students every three days and they are happy to come to music! It's amazing to see student achievement, fun and the wonder of making music. The concepts and lessons they learn in music can help them throughout the rest of their lives.
My Project
Learning to play the violin has many benefits to give the students than just reading music. A violin can help "fine-tune" motor skills and give students a chance to excel in a subject other than the reading or math. I have had some students that struggle in their regular classroom, excel in mine, and it gives them a sense of accomplishment that they may not be getting elsewhere. I do not exclude any student that wants to try and learn the instrument.
Your donations will help preserve and continue not only the violin program, but music education at this school.
We need to show that we can persevere and continue to give our students the best, well-rounded education we can offer.
