Synthesizing the Future

Help me give my students a synthesizer to practice their music literacy and create powerful presentations with a creative kick. They are learning digital literacy and music is a great way to empower their creative minds.

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 item will make a world of difference in our classroom. Korg creates high-quality musical instruments that will last a lifetime and be incorporated into our class on a weekly basis.

This adds unique learning for our after school and Saturday school programs; providing musical equipment is often overlooked in the public school setting, and this is way out of my budget to provide to students.

Opportunities for musical learning and improvement are something I strive to provide students with, year after year. Anything like this would be a substantial benefit for our classroom.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
