I am requesting bass amps, mixer, cables, tuners and strings. I would like to improve the students' social and emotional skills by providing students with more resources and equipment. As we have navigated COVID, many students picked up the electric bass guitar. The problem is that we do not have enough equipment for all of the students and are in need of the following: electric bass guitars, tuners, amplifiers, mixer, strings and cables for the students to use. I would like to keep every student engaged, but they need the correct tools to make that happen. If we can supply the students with the ability to create their music, then we will fulfill enhance the educational journey. The following music content standards are being addressed. MU:Pr4.7.6 Perform contrasting pieces of music demonstrating their interpretations of the elements. MU:Pr6.7.1 Perform the music with technical accuracy and stylistic expression to convey the creator’s intent. MU:Pr4.8.6 Perform contrasting pieces of music, demonstrating as well as explaining how the music's intent is conveyed by their interpretations of the elements of music and expressive qualities (such as dynamics, tempo, timbre, articulation or style, and phrasing). The students in band are some of the highest achieving students on campus. I believe in the importance of providing opportunities for the students at our school, and your generous support will change the lives of many kids. Please help to save the music at our school. Thank you for your support!
