My Project

Hi! My name is Daniel Garcia, and I am going to be teaching PreK-2nd Grade music at a New Orleans public school. This is the first time these grades will have musical instruction, and I want to make sure that they get everything they need to develop their fundamental musicianship. These include: egg shakers, rhythm sticks, bucket drums, djembes, and more! These students are growing up in one of the musical cornerstones of the nation, so they deserve to know how to interact and participate in it. I know this is a lot of money to spend, so any donation, big or small, is appreciated!
