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 am new music teacher in a New York City public school. My school has an extremely diverse study body. Our neighborhood is full of culture and has a lively music scene. I am very excited to be working in such a wonderful neighborhood and with students who have a true passion for music and performing arts.

My students are energetic, fun-loving, motivated kids who absolutely love music.

They especially enjoy learning new instruments and playing on drums of any kind!

My Project

My students absolutely love playing percussion instruments. They will be elated with joy if they were to receive these beautiful djembes. I have a lot of experience playing these instruments and I know I can teach a fun curriculum of world drumming and even incorporate a djembe performance at our schools Winter/Spring concerts.

As a title one school in New York City, we do not have the same resources as other schools.

However, my students make the best of what they are given and appreciate what they have. Even though they are happy with their bucket drums- I know they will benefit greatly by having a whole new realm of possibilities open to them with djembe drums.
