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.
My Project
My middle school vocal group performs in many different shows throughout the school year: Hispanic Heritage Month, Black History Month, Women's History Month, Winter Concert, Arabic Heritage Month, Spring Concert, and a Musical. Many times our district cannot purchase new music, so they need to create their own to perform!
With access to an iPad, my students will be able to use composition programs, create backing tracks, and record or edit their performances!
Without an iPad, and access to composition software, this vocal group will not be afforded the opportunity to perform to the best of their ability.
