Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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

This Alesis Vortex Wireless 2 - High Performance USB MIDI Wireless Keytar Controller with Software will help bolster our music program and create a very motivational piano keyboard class at our school.

Imagine a young musician roaming across the stage Rock'n Roll style performing piano skills on a keytar.

What could be cooler than that! Presently, we have a few stationary broken down keyboards that cannot be moved without the help of strong adults and machinery. Our performances involve a lot of movement on stage, both in school performances and when traveling to a public place. The keytar will allow our musicians to move and perform a reality.
