Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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

Our students are the sweetest and friendliest crew who love socializing and learning new concepts together. We would like to expand their fun, by introducing instruments into their daily school day. We've learned the many benefits of playing a piano has for students. The piano will help our students learn how to sight-read, will teach them how to use both hands to play intricate rhythms, determine how much force they need to press the piano keys, how to properly sit straight and most importantly, allow them to express themself musically. Playing the piano activates the brain in ways no other game, gadget, instrument or tool can. Please consider donating to help our students!!
