My Students

Our students are very nice kids and enjoy learning piano.

My students are nice kids from South Gate Los Angeles, who for the most part, never had music education before.

We are a start up performing arts high school, serving the students of the neighborhood. We are trying to provide a strong music education to the underserved students.

My Project

My students need 27 piano method books. The students are about to graduate from their current piano book and need the next level of method books to continue their progress. Without the method books, they will not be able to continue the development of their learning as needed. These books are vital to their continued learning.

Without the new piano method books, the students will not have the ability to continue their current track in the method book series.

Needless to say, this would be a huge problem for their continued learning.
