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

As our school works to expand our music program, we are excited to begin incorporating a Contemporary Band for our more advanced students. While we are going through the materials we already have, we have found several items that we are dangerously low on, as well as a few things that we need to make the practicing process more effective for all students.

While I want students to feel free to express themselves, they have a tendency to break drum sticks within a couple of weeks.

They are also very loud in their expression - especially when time is needed for independent practice, practice pads are essential to keep the noise levels manageable. Tuning keys are also essential for instrument maintenance and upkeep, and stick bags are desperately needed for organisation.

My students and I are incredibly excited to get our Contemporary Band up off the ground, but we will need help to get there!
