Your donations have significantly impacted my students' practice routines. The kids were excited to play with the new guitar picks, drum sticks, and the guitar cables. The electric guitars are now blaring with the new pedals that provide a wide array of sounds. One student spent an entire class session exploring these sounds. When I checked on him, he was playing riffs from popular bands such as The Deftones. He realized he could combine the effects from the pedal to mimic the sound of one of his favorite songs.\r\n\r\nSince then, I have had students coming in during lunch to practice in the rehearsal rooms. I also started an after-school program to give students extra practice time, which has led to the formation of a band. Your generous donations are transforming lives, and we are incredibly grateful for your support.

The excitement in the air was palpable as soon as the equipment arrived. They practice daily during class, with many even coming in during their lunch hours to rehearse and utilize the music room's practice facilities. This semester, they have been learning the 12-bar blues progression and have begun to improvise over the chord changes independently. The strings, picks, and drumsticks have truly helped my students cultivate a passion for honing their craft, allowing them to explore their creativity through the music lessons received in class. Thank you for your generous donations, which have had a profound impact on the lives of these children.","fullyFundedDate":1740691853953,"projectUrl":"project/modern-band-essentials/9099417/","projectTitle":"Modern Band Essentials","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Rodriguez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9709796_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1738817669653","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9709796"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_7412","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":727,"numTeachers":45,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":2,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":96,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"16.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":80.2,"schoolId":7412,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Belvedere Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Belvedere Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/los-angeles-unified-school-district/belvedere-middle-school/7412"}
