A Bass and Amp to Practice

Help me give my students an electric bass and amp so they may be able to practice at home. Unfortunately, not all parents can afford to purchase an instrument, but we can give them an equal opportunity.

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 Students

My students are very talented. They can sing, play string instruments, play recorder, and put on a musical production as a team. They are relentless when working together towards a set goal. They're curious and energetic, and so very kind! Since our school is culturally-rich, they help acclimatize the students who are new to our country by translating at times, and by teaching them English words. And since music is a universal language, the students who are newcomers to the U.S. feel at ease in my class and learn quickly. Overall, my students are always ready to represent our school anywhere and anytime. They are brave kids, unafraid to show the world how great they truly are!

My Project

This bass guitar with amp will allow students in our Rock Ensemble who are learning to play the bass to take turns taking the instrument home to practice. We don't have enough instruments to lend to students, and our parents don't have the means to purchase them.

As a music teacher I would like to give each child an equal opportunity to improve and perform well.

Our students are so talented that I know with a little help they will achieve their musical potential.

Please help give these students the opportunity to practice their instrument from home. We are deeply grateful for your help.
