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

I am a middle school band teacher in an inner-city school and I teach students from sixth to eighth grade. Most of my students come from a low socioeconomic background.

I have been making progress, but I am still a long way away from having all of my students on working instruments.

We are in need of violin strings. Currently, I have students with bad strings, and this makes it difficult when playing their instruments.

Giving a child the responsibility of maintaining and practicing on their own violin not only allows them to improve their technique and share their instrument with friends and family outside of school, it tells them that are trusted, responsible, and capable of determining their success.
