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 work in an underprivileged school in Queens. I am the new music and theater teacher. Beginning out, I do not have many of the resources that could really benefit the children.

The kids are loving learning the piano, ukulele and recorder.

We even have an after-school program where the children are learning the violin!

These books could go a long way in helping the children master skills in order to become the best players possible. I looked through each one and they are very practical and easy for the kids to use.
