My students need technology based instruction as well as guitar and other musical instruments for music instruction and home learning.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Lago's classroom raised $949

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

Technology is basic in learning and our students understand that with the help of today's innovations they can succeed in any discipline.

My students come form a low economic status and learning with technology is a dream waiting to happen.

In our music classroom the introduction of electronic applications like tuners, play-along tracks, and fingering charts among others, will enhance their interest in the subject matter and contribute to their growth in the arts.

My Project

With your help we can bring a better education to our students. I believe that receiving these materials will provide a turning point for these children and improve their chances for success. The tablet will serve as a media to motivate with vivid visual elements such as sheet music to play along, metronome to keep accurate tempo, tuner, and composing software at our fingertips to create and arrange music on the spot. The guitar we request is the basic instrument we teach in class and will be essential for instruction. Our children deserve to learn with a high level of resources and motivation.

This project is very important for it will dramatically improve the quality of service to our students and reward their dedication and hard work.

We thank you in advance for your commitment to the arts and our youth.
