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

I work at a tiny reclaimed mortuary turned inner-city charter school nestled underneath a freeway bridge. We don't have a parking lot, a cafeteria, a library, or many other resources that most American schools have, but we do have a staff full of energetic teachers willing to help our students learn.

My recorder ensemble consists of students in grades 2-8 that have an enthusiasm for learning music and the recorder.

We do not have an official school music program, but I teach my first graders how to play the recorder every year, and then hold recorder ensemble sessions for fun after school for those that want to continue with music. Some members have been playing for 5 years; others have just began learning how to play.

My Project

I often rewrite music for us to play in 3-part harmony, which does sound beautiful, but there are only so many notes you can play when everyone is using a soprano recorder. Expanding our ensemble to include 3 tenor recorders will help our playing range grow.

My students do not come from families that are able to provide their children with private lessons.

Our school's budget doesn't include money to buy instruments or hire music instructors. By helping fund this project, you are giving children an opportunity to learn about music and play in a group.
