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 are passionate about learning music and honing their performance skills, but they need the right tools to turn that passion into real progress. They’re in grades 9-12 and have chosen to pursue BAND as their pathway to deeper musical education. As part of our performing arts magnet school, music is a central focus, and to make this vision a reality, funding is crucial.

These students are eager to develop their talents, but to do so effectively, they need tuners that will help them practice and perfect their instruments, whether they’re in the classroom or at home.

Tuners are essential for building confidence, ensuring their instruments are always pitch-perfect, and helping them grow as musicians. With access to this kind of support, they can focus on improving their performance skills, which is key to their long-term success.

By providing these tuners, you're directly contributing to their musical journey. These students are committed to excelling, and with your help, we can give them the tools they need to thrive, both in class and beyond. Every contribution will make a real difference in their ability to practice, grow, and ultimately succeed in their musical aspirations.

Thank you for considering supporting their musical future!
