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

Our classroom starts off with a routine of reviewing music theory terms and learning to apply what we learn to the guitar. we make a lot of mistakes, but it is only part of the learning process.

My school is a lower income school with many students on free and reduced lunch.

Our small but humble school is located on the fourth floor of Panorama High school. Students show up every day at 7:25 to start the day and some stay until 6PM to talk to their teachers, make up work and practice. Most of my students do not have the means to purchase their own instruments or music supplies, so we are limited to what our budget can afford. I have made it my goal to make sure I tap into all possible resources to give them the quality music education they deserve.

My Project

In our guitar class accidents happen and strings take a daily beating and many of them pop. Students learn to change their own strings, and make sure they take care to not pop them. The pick popper will be used to make picks, because we know how easily those things go missing. The music stands will be used for rehearsal and performances. This will help students maintain a comfortable angle while practicing and performing.

My aim is to give students a meaningful experience and provide quality music education.

These materials will help my students have a more comfortable and quality experience. The music stands will also be used to help future music students.
