  • Getting Jazzy

    Funded Aug 12, 2019

    There aren't enough words in the English language to express how thankful we are for your donation. These brand new saxophones are being used every day in class. Students are enjoying the band classes with these new instruments, they were in complete awe, and we can't wait to have our first performance this December. The students are so appreciative of this gift you have given us.

    When the instruments arrived, they were indescribably happy, they were like "WOW, are those our instruments?" The look on their faces was priceless. They were really excited, they just couldn't wait. We started playing the same day we got them. The band sounds so loud and powerful. It's as if the new saxophones gave them a whole new level of confidence and motivation.

    We have some ideas for future performances but unfortunately, nothing is set in stone. We'd like to perform at pep rallies, small events, theatre performances, and hopefully any school occasion. Basically, anywhere and anytime we can. I would just like to show how talented these kids are.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Perez

  • Singing Like a Star

    Funded Jan 25, 2019

    I can't tell you how grateful we are for your donation! Those new speakers have been extraordinarily helpful in my classroom; my students are so excited.

    In every class, we perform new songs, practice our vocal techniques and learn music theory. Now the performance part is different; the quality of the sound is engaging the students to develop new ideas. Lately, my students have been creating their songs, and we are performing them together, they seem to enjoy so much now the experience of a real stage sound in class.

    In the future, we will be moving into sound recording and expand our musicality.

    Thank you again for your donation and for making this dream come true!”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Perez

Many of my students have asked to be able to play the saxophone, but sadly very few of them have been able to. This is because we lack the materials needed for all the students to be able to play. I have seen their expressions change when they are playing, and I know the joy that playing jazz brings them. I wish to spread this joy to other students by allowing more of them to play the saxophone, as some of their friends are already able to do. Music is an amazing and creative way for these children to express themselves and release stress from day to day life. If we were to get these three saxophones, we would finally be able to create a jazz band. Many of the students have expressed that they have always wanted our school to have one. However, the school has only been able to provide two and I must bring my own. As you can imagine, three saxophones are not enough for a jazz band. With your donations, we would be able to make the jazz band dream come true!
