My Project

This is the third year students are learning to play the piano. Their musical interest steadily grows. We are in need of more instruments, such as these electronic keyboards, for students to learn on. With it, they learn music theory faster and in a more enjoyable way. They also learn to play songs from various genres and share their new talents with their peers, families, and others in the school and surrounding communities at various programs, festivals, and concerts given by the school and others. With these added instruments more students will be able to participate.

The joy and excitement they show when they come to class is so heartwarming.

To help keep their momentum going the snacks and the pens will be used as incentives for their continued success. They show us their dedication by working really hard and accomplishing their goals, and we want to reward them for it.
