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
Working in a low-income school district, my students are faced with several challenges both inside and out of the classroom. Due to the many challenges they face, I strive to keep a high-energy and fun learning classroom, allowing them to experience new things.
As their music teacher, I am constantly providing them with upbeat, fun, and exciting opportunities they may not necessarily experience otherwise.
They love to sing, dance, and play instruments, but we are very limited with our resources. I would love to be able to improve their music education and performance experience by giving them basic tools to help them succeed.
“Music has the power of producing a certain effect on the moral character of the soul, and if it has the power to do this, it is clear that the young must be directed to music and must be educated in it.”
– Aristotle
My Project
Slowly but surely we are getting back to normal.. or should I say our "new normal." It has been so exciting having the kids back in the school and making music all different ways. Once we come back from break it is time to get the dust off our ukuleles to strum and sing it out! However, some minor repairs have to be made since the ukuleles were sitting without cases.
By getting ukulele cases, my students will be able to keep their instruments safer, allowing for more practice, less repairs and prolonged life of the uke!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
