My Project

I love that my students are multitalented and open to learning different things in different ways. Having these musical instruments will greatly help my students learn in a unique and fun way. Our goal is to bring students together through music learning, appreciation, and production. This is a contrast to the very competitive and rigorous academic climate that they are used to.

Having this drum set will help complete our informal band setup.

Playing music and recording music together allows everyone to have fun regardless of who they are, where they come from or their musical ability.

With the completion of our band setup, we are open to creating more positive and inclusive change in our school and community. For example, we would love to use our music to hold events and concerts in which we can raise money and awareness for charities of our choosing.
