Celebrating 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.
My Project
I have been teaching music for 32 years. I am currently teaching general music to kindergarten through fifth grade at an economically disadvantaged school. The administration and I have matching visions that giving these students tremendous opportunities will increase not only test scores but their experiences and joy to come to school. Since joining the staff last year, I have put on multiple concerts and musicals which involve every student in the school.
I would love a new piano keyboard for my classroom so I can play songs while students sing.
I teach 6 classes a day. I also teach afterschool musical theater and this year I am starting a morning choir. I love to play keyboard while students sing. This helps them with pitch. Currently I am using my 30 year old personal keyboard which is slowly dying. I am trying to replace this keyboard.
The keyboard I am asking for is a full sized keyboard with 88 fully weighted keys so if feels and sounds like a real piano. This will be the perfect addition to my music classroom.
Thank you so much for contributing to my music classroom and future singing stars.
