My Students

My students are amazing. They work really hard for me every day; and I am very grateful that I get to work with them. They're always trying to do the best they can. They work really well together and are great at encouraging each other.

Most of my students come from lower class families and deserve more than the hand they've been dealt.

And I will continue to try my hardest to make up that difference.

My Project

I am asking for some paper cubbies for my students so they can store their music in the orchestra room. It'll make things a lot easier and more convenient for my students if they have a place to store their music and papers. As of now, students don't have a place in the classroom to keep those kinds of things; because obviously there are no desks in the orchestra room.

My students also need shoulder rests for their violins.

Many of them don't have them and it's hindering their progress on their instruments. The shoulder rests will help students learn from home in the sense that they will be using the shoulder rests when practicing at home as well as when playing in class.
