My Students

I have made it my goal over the last few years to bring nothing but the best into my classroom so that my students have the opportunity to make music the way it was meant to be made - with fun and creativity!

Music helps our students thrive in today's society and we want to allow them to be exposed to music playing.

When given these opportunities, I have seen my students blossom in a way I have never seen before, and I want to continue to try and provide them with different ways to make their musical projects soar to new heights.

My Project

With the help of these instruments and accessories, our students will be able to learn music the proper way. By allowing our children the opportunity to access the best equipment we improve their chances to excel not only in the pursuit of their musical journey but also in an all-around solid education.

The addition of Ukuleles and guitars to our program is the logical next step for our students.

This instruments will bring our children countless hours of joy as they embark in this wonderful musical experience. We look forward to receiving and unboxing our strings instruments and thank you in advance for such amazing help.
