My Project

Hello, thank you for reading this. I’m a music teacher in Phoenix, Arizona at an elementary school.

I have been teaching Elementary Music for 19 years and I have never seen a group of third graders so dedicated to learning the recorder as I have this year.

Many students have requested taking them home at the end of the year , but if I let them do that, I will not have any left for next year therefore;

I am requesting funding for recorders to replace the ones that I will be giving away at the end of this school year . The ones they have been playing the last 9 weeks.

My goal is to begin these 3rd graders on a lifelong passion for music.

Thank you so much for the consideration.1
