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

My music classroom is a challenging and fun place to be. This year, I started in a new school, where I teach all elementary students and middle school choir. My students are so excited to come to music every week to enjoy the class, play instruments, and perform since they were limited from this privilege for many years ago.

My students are clever, passionate, hopeful, and creative!

As a new music teacher in this school, I am having the great pleasure of introducing my students to a new experience. They get to play instruments they have not seen before and enjoy from a different environment that has been a little difficult due to the space in my classroom. We have some limited space in the school to keep our instruments in a safe place, and some of them are getting damaged. Therefore, we would love to get some Orff instruments and stands that will be also comfortable for the students to play.

My Project

The new ORFF instrument will make a big difference in our classroom. My students love playing these fun tuned instruments. There is a lot of music to share in our classroom and when they have to choose, they all want the same instruments. Therefore, having enough will make it easy and fun for everyone.

My students always want to try new instruments!!

What a nice way to complete our modern band instruments with this new addition of a P bone trombone. A very easy and colorful instrument with an easy technique for the students to learn in a faster way. Also, the percussion instrument Cajon will be the perfect addition for a percussion ensemble and play Latin music.
