Music Instruments for Musical Students

Help me give my students musical instruments to add to our maker space.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Mitchell's classroom raised $1,122

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

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 Project

Some of our students are involved in beginning orchestra classes. They enjoy learning the instrument that they are assigned but others would like the opportunity to learn a different instrument.

The piano and guitar are the most frequently requested instruments that students would like to learn.

Having these instruments in the classroom will allow students to explore and learn how to play. It will also give them another tool to use when exploring their creative writing since they love to write songs! Having a keyboard and guitar which links to headphones will allow students time to explore and follow lessons.
