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

With help from our incredible DonorsChoose community, we have built a "Community Collection" of instruments for students to play at home and at school. Last year, students used their Community Collection instruments to participate in virtual music lessons and work together in bands. We practiced playing chords and drum patterns; we worked together in small groups to practice our parts, and we created rehearsal videos to prepare for our virtual concerts. Students watched each other's virtual performances, cheered for one another, and voted to select the winner of our second annual (and first virtual) Battle of the Bands.

Last year, even when we couldn't play together in person, our students found ways to collaborate and perform together.

My Project

Our new "Community Collection" instruments have opened a world of musical possibilities. During remote musical instruction last year, our students worked hard to collaborate in digital platforms. Now, we are working to create a physical classroom space that supports ongoing collaboration and teamwork in music.

Please help us to develop a collaborative classroom studio space -- a place for students to create, rehearse, and perform together.

Your generous support will help to provide: seating that students can arrange and rearrange to accommodate their collaborative rehearsal set-ups; storage solutions for our new instruments, so that students can easily and carefully access the instruments they need; and drum rugs for our band rehearsal spaces.
