My Students
My students create a family at the RHS Performing Arts Department. We are a performing arts family (bands, choirs, strings, theatre and dance) that support each other on the stage, in the classroom and beyond. We are a NJ high school, just outside NYC servicing a multicultural population of students from varying socioeconomic backgrounds. We strongly believe that the arts can instill positive change, transform, inspire and change lives. The Music program is a powerful unifier in our school.
We are going to build this program over a strong foundation and proud history and generations of arts students at RHS.
My Project
My students are extremely motivated. They are eager and love creating music together. As a whole, my students cannot afford luxury items, such as this Sennheiser microphone. This tool will support our student musicians as we travel to perform throughout our community and schools.
“With music, one’s whole future life is brightened.
This is such a treasure in life that it helps us over many troubles and difficulties. Music is nourishment, a comforting elixir. Music multiplies all that is beautiful and of value in life.” – Zoltan Kodaly
Our students love to perform. When our ensembles perform for the community and schools, it helps promote the importance of music education and spreads the good news of what our students are able to accomplish. This microphone will support our efforts as we are traveling and it will be used with our choir ensembles, musicals, jazz ensembles, and much more.
More than half of students from low‑income households
