Help me give my students the supplies and accessories that they need to learn how to play a musical instrument. The students are in need of new guitar strings in order to sound good on their guitars.
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Tapia's classroom raised $509
This project is fully funded
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 Project
The kids are thrilled to learn about the music of their family's cultural tradition in our newly established Mariachi program. We need materials despite the fact that the class has violins, trumpets, guitars, and guitarrones. While the violin students use a sponge as a shoulder rest to grasp the violin, the guitar strings break. There is just one bottle of oil, and the trumpet valves are becoming jammed. These materials are required and will be utilized by the students. The pupils' ability to sound better and hold their instruments properly will improve. No music classes have ever been taken by the students. Please assist me in getting the right equipment so that the students can succeed in their music classes.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
