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 students come from a low income area. The students I teach are middle school students in a public school. The music budget at my school is VERY limited, so any donations help tremendously!

Students would love to be able to have a wide selection of percussion instruments to choose from. Often, students do not get the instruments they would like to play. Sometimes, they have to wait until the next day to play the one they are most interested in. I would love for each student to be able to play any instrument on any given day because of a larger selection.

I am asking for a rainstick, 3 sets of claves, a 35 piece percussion instrument set with a variety of tambourines, maracas, sticks, triangles, cymbals and more! They would be SO excited to see more to choose from and less stress over whether or not they are going to be able to use the instrument they want.

Your help will ensure that my students are able to play any instrument they choose! They will be so excited to see a wide selection and learn how to use every percussion instrument,rather than just one.
