My Students

"Music is the language of the spirit. It opens the secret of life bringing peace, abolishing strife." Kahlil Gibran

My beautiful and talented students are primarily African American and Latinx.

We are in a Title I school located in the heart of Los Angeles. My students have experienced many challenges and hardships in their young lives due, to no fault of their own, not only the impact of Covid, but also many other layered adverse conditions that have disrupted their learning, and emotional well being. However, they are seekers of knowledge and musical creators full of resilience and strength just waiting for creative opportunities.

For this music project, we seek battery chargers and rechargeable batteries for keyboards for composing music. This is a standards based music program with an emphasis on modern band and Hip Hop pedagogy. Students would be co creators of curriculum and have an opportunity to express themselves through music.

My Project

I am requesting chargers and rechargeable batteries which will allow my students to use the amazing electric piano keyboards we received from donors choose. These keyboards do not come with wall plugs and therefore need batteries to run.

My students love making music and making beats.

They are very excited to get going on their Black History Month recording projects. We are studying recording arts and keyboard fundamentals. Students are creating original music to go along with their voices. Students at my school have so much talent and just need opportunities to let their light shine!
