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.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Help me give my new students the necessary resources for them to succeed in my class. New students are projected to join the orchestra and I need more shoulder rests, bows, and cello rock stops for them.

These resources are fundamental to be successful when learning to play a string instrument.

The shoulder rests give violin and viola students the skill to play with great posture and consequently, a correct production of the sound. The rock stops are for the cello and bass players. They hold their instrument in place so they don't slide and fall.

We are closing the year with almost a hundred students enrolled in orchestra. Next year, we will grow even more and these resources are much needed and appreciated!

Thank you!
