My Students

Our class motto is: Relentlessly Pursuing Excellence! Though we are a music class, we use music as a means to develop life skills like thinking and responsibility. We work as a team to create and enjoy high-quality music.

We are passionate about providing high-quality music education to inner-city students that have been historically underserved and excluded.

With roughly eighty percent of our students on the free or reduced-price lunch program, many students struggle to pay for instrument rental or supplies. That said, the students in the music program go beyond the excuses to find ways to reach their potential. They overcome challenges and adversity while supporting each other in achieving success.

My Project

Students in our high-profile drumline program will be learning from home for the foreseeable future. During regular times, students at school borrow and share practice pads and drum sticks.

Due to Covid-19, students will need practice pads and sticks that they can check-out and use at home for remote learning.

These items will help students continue learning on their own.

Music plays such an integral role in the development of our students. The addition of these pads and sticks will help students continue to learn and grow through music.
