Musical Safety

Help me give my students coverings for their instruments to prevent covid 19.

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

My students are awesome musicians who are always wanting to practice their instruments. They are very zealous, and they always make sure that I am continuously working to make them better instrumentalists. Through this pandemic, they are still pushing through.

My Project

In our school, we have been trying to make it easier and safer for students to be able to play their instruments without the risk of covid-19. Last year, I obtained a grant from the "Mr. Hollands Opus" foundation, which gave me over $65,000 worth of instruments. Unfortunately, since Covid hit, my students haven't been able to touch these instruments.

With these coverings, everyone can have a clear mind that instrumental safety as well as performance safety is occurring.

Students and parents will know that students are performing in a safe environment.
