Celebrating 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.
Our students are inspirational, passionate, responsible, and hard-working. Many of the music students who are in middle school attend their music elective during zero period. This period begins before the regular school day, so students elect to attend seven periods a day in lieu of the traditional six periods. This class is voluntary and year after year our enrollment for zero period increases as students are motivated to continue their music education. Many of our students have been enrolled in the instrumental music program since the third grade. They elect not only to stay at our school through middle school but they also continue to participate in the instrumental music program.
Many of our students come from low income families, are foster youth students, or share a household with extended family in order to remain in the district.
While staying enrolled in the district, families are able to keep their children at our school from elementary through middle school. Due to continuous enrollment, older siblings inspire their brothers, sisters and/or cousins to participate in music. Our school provides these opportunities for students to ensure exposure to the fine arts.
My Project
All great musicians need to learn to play in tune and in tempo. My students are in need of a tuner/metronome combos to take their musicianship to the next level. With these new tuner/metronome combos my students will be able to practice at school and at home with the reinforcement of both a tuner and metronome.
Both of these tools are necessary for individual progress and improvement for an ensemble.
When using the tuner at school the microphone cables will only pick up the instrument it is connected to, therefore allowing more than one student at a time to tune.
