My Students

My students are full of energy and a love for music. I teach a variety of students. Many of my students are ESL learners and quite a few have special needs. I teach in an urban area where the school is the only place that they have musical opportunities. I'm always looking for ways to reach all my students.

My Project

My students are learning to play keyboard instruments this year. We will have a total of 30 instruments so that the students don't have to share. However, that many keyboards takes a lot of power. I don't want to have to buy and replace batteries every time they wear out, so I'm hoping to get some rechargeable batteries and chargers to keep the keyboards powered up for years to come. These items also enable us to move the keyboards around without having to be attached to a power cord and electricity.
