Orchestra Students Need Essential Technique Method Book to Extend Learning
My students need the Essential Techniques for Strings Book 3 so that they can further their performance skills, knowledge, and technique to make beautiful music in orchestra class.
Our students love music. They are passionate about music and music-making. Music is what keeps them motivated to come to school. They excel in music, despite our school being situated in the midst of five federal housing projects.
Most, if not all, of our students come from homes of highest poverty.
Our school has a 70% highly disadvantaged rate.
Beautiful music comes out of our orchestra room. Our students play with great passion. Music is what they excel at. Our students would never have been able to play in an orchestra were it not for the school orchestra program.
My Project
Our orchestra class students need the Essential Techniques for Strings Book 3 to extend their learning. Our school orchestra is growing in size and also in ability. They have played through Books 1 & 2 in this method book series and need the Essential Techniques for Strings Book 3 to extend and further their learning opportunities, skills, knowledge and performance abilities.
Funding for this project will help our highly disadvantaged students to overcome the odds and become fabulous orchestra musicians.
Funding for Music and the Arts in public education is often scarce, reduced, or even non-existent and our school is no exception. Many, if not all of our students would never have been able to play in an orchestra or play an orchestral instrument if it were not for the school orchestra program. The program has changed lives and opened doors of opportunity for our students. Donations to this project will be a gift that keeps on giving for years to come. Thank you for your kind considerations!
