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

Many of our music students will try out a drum at least once in their high school years. Those students who decide to dedicate time to improve and master their drumming skills are few but with the hope to grow. Students need a way to practice in class, after school, and even at home without disturbing others around them.

Help me acquire a tenor practice pad with rims and a few snares stands to hold our snare practice pads so my students can practice!

With these materials, my students can focus on technique and be able to play together as a group without sound distractions.
