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 Students

My students love to sing, move, and play instruments. They know that music class is a safe space where they are allowed to explore, create, and collaborate with each other. Every time they leave class, they leave with a smile and a new song.

My Project

I am the Music Teacher at our school in the South Bronx. Due to COVID-19, many of my students opted to stay remote for the coming 2020-2021 school year. My goal in creating this list, is to obtain early childhood musical instruments that they will use at home during remote instruction. These instruments will help teach and reinforce musical concepts such as steady beat, high and low, long and short, and movement exploration. I would appreciate anything from a kind word of support to any supplies on this list for these wonderful young musicians.

Thank You,

Mr. Witsell
