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 Project

My students continue to amaze me with their "no limit" attitude in accomplishing challenges for which I provide. No matter what is presented to them, they keep working at it until the job is done.

With this i-pad Pro for musicians and Dell Latitude 5450 14" Laptop, Intel Core Ultra 5-135U vPro, 16GB Memory, 512GB SSD, Windows 11 Pro (9W6F6), we will be able to create works of music from simple to more complex as learning develops while my students grow with knowledge.

From there, the sky is the limit. Imagine creating music that will ultimately be performed in a concert for the community.

This experience will help my students to reach a whole new level of understanding and learning what it is like to create a musical work of art from start to finish. This has to be one of the highest goals for a teacher to pave the way for the next Mozart or Andrew Lloyd Webber.
