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

Many of my amazing students cannot afford a recorder for our Music class. It is a critical tool to develop as a musician and artist. Additionally, checking out a recorder used by other students can create a health crisis, despite how many times they are washed in a dishwasher. My goal is to provide each student a recorder of their own to use in class as well as to practice with at home. Please help me give all of my students an equitable opportunity to become the best musician possible.
