My Project

Students at this school are so excited to learn piano during the school day! Right now, the school only has two keyboards, but the goal is to have eight students enrolled in the course. The enrollment is directly tied to how many keyboards we have! Piano lessons can be extremely expensive, and this group piano class will allow all students access to piano lessons for free!

These keyboards will allow all piano students to have access to a piano keyboard for 90 minutes every school day, allowing them to make more progress.

This class will teach students to read music on treble and bass clef, enabling them to transfer the information they learn to other instruments! Right now, the school offers chorus and band, so this will open up an additional music class.
