My Project
I am fortunate to teach an incredible group of talented and passionate students who are eager to explore their creativity through music. Many of my students participate in our after-school Guitar Club, where they have the opportunity to express themselves, build confidence, and develop discipline through learning an instrument. Our club has grown over the years, and as interest continues to increase, we are in need of additional guitars to ensure that every student has the opportunity to play.
The guitar I’m requesting will allow more students to actively participate during practice sessions, rather than waiting for a turn to use one of the few guitars we currently have.
Having this new guitar will also allow us to work on group performances where everyone can contribute equally, creating a more engaging and collaborative learning environment.
My goal is to provide my students with the tools they need to cultivate their musical skills, foster a love for music, and build lasting connections with their peers. These students bring so much enthusiasm and dedication to our Guitar Club, and having an additional guitar will give them the opportunity to grow not only as musicians but also as confident, creative individuals.
More than half of students from low‑income households
