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

Our middle school music students are interested in playing many different kinds of music. In order to achieve that goal we need to have a variety of instruments that will help our music group be more balanced.

With the addition of the electric acoustic bass and the keyboard, students can learn how to play these instruments and learn how their sound can blend in with the other instruments.

We are preparing for our spring concert and we would love to have the instruments that we need to sound like good.
