Celebrating 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 music students are eager to learn music and perform it. They look forward to new opportunities to perform and to sharing the art of music with their friends and family. Their expectations for a rich musical experience are high!
Our school thrives with students bringing very diverse cultural and socio-economic experiences.
Like all of us, they are drawn to music for its equally diverse forms of expression and emotional connection. Many are music consumers. I am fortunate to teach many that have given me the opportunity to inspire and teach them to be music creators.
My Project
As students develop in their playing, there are certain changes of equipment that are needed for more challenging music, or just to produce a better sound.
The supplies requested in this project will provide sound enhancing tools for specific instrument sections.
Brass mouthpieces with shallower cup assists with producing a higher range. Mutes are needed for special effects in more complicated music.
Stronger reeds are needed by more advanced clarinet and saxophone players. Additionally, nicer mouthpieces present an outstanding sound upgrade for clarinets. Quality oboe reeds are difficult for students to find and also very costly.
Many of the students at Kolb cannot afford these types of upgrades or supplemental materials. Your donation will go a long way to enhancing the opportunities for Kolb Music students to sound more sensational in their music-making.
