Soaring Keys

Help me give my students the chance to learn piano skills through an after school piano lab to help them focus not only on music but to transition those skills to the classroom.

My Project

Within the public school system, there are sprouts that push through adversity and their environments to do great things! I want to offer those special and resilient students the opportunity to dive into learning something they may not have the chance to experience. The piano keyboards and headphones that you are providing these students will be the stepping stones needed to allow them to shine. The discipline that it takes to learn the piano could also transition into their daily class time. The "arts" has always had a powerful impact on the mind at any age.

At the end of our time together, students will be able to perform a short piano work during our Related Arts evening.

Students will perform for the school administration and, mostly importantly, their families.
