Music - the Priceless Sound of Mankind

Help me give my students instruments that they need to showcase their talents, by fixing these violins. This will help them improve their memorization skills, build confidence, relieve stress, and make them creative.

My Project

Learning how to play the violin instrument would be part of the learning process for my students and in small group instructions for this school year and beyond. This will go a long way to improve their memorization skills, relieve stress, build confidence, and make them creative.

My students are always eager to take on new challenges and therefore, helping in fixing these donated violins will help my students to plunge in to take risks, which they are not shy to venture into that.

My goal is to have my students perform at school-wide functions and at our graduation ceremonies.

Playing the violin will increase my special needs students’ cognitive ability, stimulate the brain, and help with memory retention. In addition, the students will learn new things, improve their social skills and make new friends.
