My Project
What I love most about my students is their curiosity, creativity, and willingness to try new things. They bring energy and joy to the classroom every day, and I’m constantly inspired by how they support one another as they grow. Many of them light up when given the chance to express themselves through music, movement, or hands-on learning—and that’s exactly what these resources will support.
The ukulele guitar will allow students to explore rhythm, harmony, and musical storytelling in an engaging, accessible way.
Whether they're playing alone or in groups, they’ll build confidence, coordination, and collaboration skills. The iRig connector will let us integrate instruments with classroom technology, turning iPads or laptops into music studios for recording and digital creativity. With the wireless microphone, students can share their voices clearly during performances, presentations, or class discussions—boosting communication and leadership skills.
These tools will turn our classroom into a dynamic, creative space where every student feels heard and valued. Music has the power to open hearts and minds, and with your support, my students will have the opportunity to learn through joy, expression, and sound.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
