My Students

My students are eager musical learners and have the drive to rock! I will be Empowering Students Through Art by taking songs that are poetic and make arrangements that correlate with the words.

My students are hard workers that come from all different types of backgrounds.

We have a diverse culture that we are able to explore in music class. I see students that struggle then discover they have the ability to be musical and it can change their life in such a positive way. Empowering Students Through Art is an everyday process at our school am always taking the story that music tells to classroom instruments.

My Project

We need a Xylophone Bass Bar to add to our bell ensemble. We need the microphone cords adapters and amps to that we may use the equipment properly. We have a modern band and a bell ensemble that need help as well as my daily general music students. They all get a chance to learn all of the instruments.

This donation to my classroom will make such an impact on my students for YEARS to come.

When I see a student who is struggling in life and I introduce them to music their whole life can change! Empowering Students Through Art will directly effect students lives to come for many years. For example, students can use the story of "In the Hall of the Mountain King," play the music on the bells and then be able to sing the words all using the amps and bells provided.
