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 Students

My students are a wide range of ages with the youngest being 5 years old, and the oldest being 14 or 15 years. My students have not had the opportunity to experience music in the classroom for almost 10 years now, so this will be an exciting surprise for them. Since this will be the first time that most of my students will be in a music classroom, I would love for my students to have a rockin' first year experience.

My students deserve to have an enriching and rigorous music program.

In order to ensure this, the classroom needs to be equipped with tools and supplies that support the students' learning needs, as well as supplies that will deepen their learning and musical experiences.

My Project

With your help and support, my students will be able to experience a modern band setting. My classroom is located in an underprivileged community where students are often not given the same opportunities as other communities.

With your help, my class will feature classic rock, jazz, pop music, hip hop, and classical music.

My students will get to produce the music on their keyboards that they know and love, while also expanding their knowledge on new genres. My hope is for them to be able to perform the music they will be working hard to learn as well as cultivate a deeper passion for learning.
