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

I have the privilege of teaching an amazing group of students who are passionate about music and eager to express themselves through rhythm. Their enthusiasm for learning and performing never ceases to inspire me.

The resources I'm requesting for this project will play a vital role in enhancing their learning experience and helping them grow as musicians.

The Gator Cases Cymbal Slinger Gig Bag and Gator Classic Series Drum Case Set will help our students keep their instruments safe and organized, ensuring that they are always ready to practice and perform. The Pearl Roadshow Drum Set and the Facmogu Cymbal Replacement Accessories will provide our students with top-notch equipment that will inspire them to practice and hone their skills. The Fiada Drum Dampeners Gels and Anjetan Drum Rug will improve the quality of our sound, creating a professional environment that encourages focus and creativity.

My goal for this project is to create a well-equipped and inspiring music space where students can explore the world of percussion. By providing them with high-quality equipment, I aim to foster their passion for music and help them develop their skills. I want to create a learning environment where they feel supported and motivated to achieve their full potential as musicians.

My students are incredibly talented and dedicated to their craft. They come from diverse backgrounds, yet they share a common love for music. Their creativity and enthusiasm bring joy to our classroom and drive our music program to new heights. These students have the potential to become exceptional musicians, and with the right resources, they can achieve great things.

With your support, we can provide these exceptional students with the resources they need to excel in their musical journey.
