My students are some of the most humble, hard working student's I've ever had the opportunity to work with. These students work year-round and return to my classroom year after year in search of a place to feel at home, for performance opportunities singing and dancing, and a place to express themselves.
My students are determined, persistent, and dedicated to quality in the performing arts and need resources to help them continue to grow.
They come from all different backgrounds and are a very diverse group of learners with a variety of needs. They are thankful for everything they have and for those who help them along their path to a quality education.
My Project
Our school currently has guitars that are in severe disrepair, and several need to be replaced. Our class sizes are growing, and we do not have enough guitars for all students to be engaged in hands-on learning in each of the classes.
Quality instruments are essential for quality instruction in the music classroom.
Our students deserve to learn proper technique and musicianship, and in order to do so, they need instruments that are new and in excellent condition. Students in these classes engage in hands-on learning through daily guitar practice, in-class performances, solos, duets, and small groups. With additional quality guitars, we can meet the needs of ALL students in the class.
