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

My students love percussion. I love that they are engaged and excited to learn with new equipment. These new drumsticks and mallets will enable them to work on technique and rhythm reading abilities.

Donations to this project will help students' kinesthetic coordination and increase their motor skills.

Furthermore, they will be engaged in an educational process of decoding and translating symbols into musical sounds. With your support, my students can pick up sticks, learn some tricks and collaborate together for a wonderful mix. Thank you in advance for your investment into the lives of our future leaders.
