Music Music, Mic Check! Fa la la la la la la la la

My students need recorders, xylophones, and microphones to improve there musical experience. They enjoy singing and rapping different tunes and the microphones would make the experience more "real".

My Students

Every morning we would sing our School Song. Clap our hands, chant and shout out the different notes. Compose new and exciting songs. At the end of this school year I want my students' confidence to be high. "I can do all things through Christ". They will be proud of there accomplishments.

I teach students that have limited resources in the Arts but are eager to learn.

They have a love for music. They are serious about their academics but make room to explore their musical talents. The school is highly motivated in there academic achievements and there's no money in the budget for Music materials.

My Project

Greatness! Imagine in house "The Voice", "American Idol". Young artist having there voices heard by there peers. Giving them the opportunity to experience what it's like, it will bring great joy. I hear and see giggles of their first experience playing the xylophone, recorders and singing at the same time. What a vision hope it can become a reality.

This donations will truly be a blessing for myself as well as my students.

It will improve the learning dramatically in a "huge" way. That once shy kid begins to blossom because of the resources provided. Singing and playing a tune that probably wouldn't be as lively. Do you remember your Elementary music. Playing the recorder. Singing on a microphone, and playing the xylophone. I can see the dreams becoming a reality.
