  • Future Rock Stars in Need of Speakers

    Funded Sep 10, 2013

    Thank you for making a huge difference in the lives of my students. Thanks to your generosity my students have now access to monitors and awesome electric guitar. It was a joy to watch their excitement as we received the guitar and monitors. I am positive that they will never forget the experience of playing their first note and the feeling of being able to make music. It has really been a pleasure watching them have fun and explore their creativity. Each week they grow tremendously.

    The impact that these instruments have had on these students has exceeded all of my expectations. They are very motivated to learn and each week they ask me to teach them new songs. Music has given them a sense of accomplishment and lifted their self-esteems. They have also become more disciplined through practice and learned about responsibility by properly caring for their instruments.

    The after school music program has become so successful that many students have asked to join. I will definitely continue to reach as many students as I can and provide them with the opportunity to express their creativity through music.

    Thank you so much for allowing me to share the wonderful world of music with my students.”

  • Little Rock Stars Need Help Moving Their Instruments

    Funded Sep 3, 2012

    Thank you so much for your generous donation. The cart has been a life saver. It has allowed my students and I to move our music equipment with ease and conserve much needed energy for our performances. Over the last year our band has more than doubled and as more students join my music program more equipment needs to be moved from our practice room to the stage. The kids love to help push the cart and proudly walk around campus knowing that they are part of the band.

    Without donors like you, we would not be able to keep the arts alive in our public schools. Once again thank you so much for your support.”

Two years ago I started a guitar class with ten of my students as part of the Little Kids Rock Program. This class has become very popular among students and I have received many requests from students of different grade levels wanting to be part of this special class. Due to the limited amount of instruments I am unable to provide more students with the opportunity to learn how to play the guitar and use their creative energy to create songs. My main objectives for this program are to provide students with musical skills that are transferable to any musical instrument, and to expose students to different genres of music.
