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.
Playing the piano is a goal many of my students have for themselves. It is a great skill for any musician to have, yet it is often inaccessible for students to learn. With your support, I will be able to provide students with opportunities to gain keyboard skills on these portable, rechargeable, high-quality electric keyboards.
These portable keyboards will be just what we need to start a small piano lab for students to gain keyboard skills and compose more sophisticated songs in music class.
Not all families have the resources to purchase a piano, hire a teacher for weekly lessons, and any other materials their students may need. I am in a unique position to help support students' budding musicianship and foster their creativity and self-expression through songwriting.
While our current pitched instruments are great for playing simple songs together, the piano keyboards will definitely help motivate my 3rd-5th grade students to work on their music skills while using real-world instruments.
