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

Our K-5 students love making music, but to truly bring their learning to life, we need essential mallet instrument materials and accessories—including xylophones, glockenspiels, and the mallets needed to play them! These tools will help students explore rhythm, melody, and creativity in a hands-on, engaging way.

With your support, our young musicians will have everything they need to play, compose, and collaborate, building confidence and a lifelong love for music.

Help us strike the right note—thank you for making music possible!

Beyond learning notes and rhythms, these materials will encourage teamwork, listening skills, and self-expression. Music is a powerful tool that fosters problem-solving and creativity, and having the right resources ensures that every student, regardless of background or ability, gets the chance to shine. Your generosity will create meaningful musical experiences for years to come!
