Help me give my students some guitars, basses, and drum hardware so we can give more people the opportunity to play in our Modern Band.
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Licari's classroom raised $2,711
This project is fully funded
Celebrating 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
The guitars, basses, and drum hardware will enhance my students' musical learning by providing them with high-quality instruments that inspire creativity and improve technique. Our program is growing rapidly, and we have more interest than available instruments, making it crucial to expand our resources.
My goal for this project is to foster a collaborative environment where students can explore various musical styles and develop their skills through hands-on experience.
What makes my students special is their diverse backgrounds and unique perspectives; they bring passion and enthusiasm to their music education. By equipping them with the right tools, I aim to empower their artistic expression and build their confidence as musicians.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
