This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
Our school will be starting it's second year in the fall. We are hoping to add a band program. We will start with a woodwind program.
My middle school students have all learned to play the recorder They are very anxious to take those skills and apply them to more modern instruments and begin building our band.
Because we are a Title One school, we know many of our students cannot afford to purchase or rent their own instrument.
My Project
There is a lot of research that shows that kids who study an instrument out perform their peers in standardized tests. Maybe it's because they learn to practice until it's easy. Maybe it's because they learn to manage their time. Maybe music helps strengthen the brain. No matter the reason, we know it helps. Please help us get instruments so we can have a band to provide these skills and opportunities for our students.
In and ideal world, every child who wants to be in band can be.
In reality, they need instruments. Not all of our students are able to rent or buy instruments. In order to give them all the opportunity, we need help fundraising to have instruments available for them.
