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 fantastic, very talented and enthusiastic; I see how they have been growing since the beginning of the year and how they love music and singing. We are a low-income school that stretches every resource to the best of our ability to give students a bright future.

Many students are coming after school hours to keep practicing and learning; they are incredibly capable of anything when they love what they are doing.

I'm fortunate to have a group of learners like them, and I'm looking forward to seeing how much we can do and grow thru the year.

My Project

My students love to sing and perform what we have learned in class. Unfortunately, we don't have all the resources for good practice and excellent performance. We practice the songs every day and do vocals warm-ups with low-quality speakers, sometimes its difficult to rehearse and have an idea of how the music actually sounds.

With these new speakers, we will finally have an idea of how a true performance will sound!

They will feel like they are a rock star on the stage and will be much easier for them to enjoy the performance.

The best way to learn is enjoying what you do and with these speakers, they will have an amazing experience.
