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 music classroom is a challenging and fun place to be. This year, I started in a new school, where I teach all elementary students and middle school choir. My students are so excited to come to music every week to enjoy the class, play instruments, and perform since they were limited from this privilege for many years ago.

My students are clever, passionate, hopeful, and creative!

As a new music teacher in this school, I am having the great pleasure of introducing my students to a new experience. They get to play instruments they have not seen before and enjoy from a different environment that has been a little difficult due to the space in my classroom. We have some limited space in the school to keep our instruments in a safe place, and some of them are getting damaged. Therefore, we would love to get some Orff instruments and stands that will be also comfortable for the students to play.

My Project

Rolling our big and expensive instruments is easier for the kids. Our school is very old and many of the Orff instruments are in not good condition. Sometimes they get worse if we move them a lot.

Instead of replacing the instruments, we will add these stands and storage cart to keep the instruments safe during the school year, especially during the summer.

The new materials will make a big difference in the classroom. We will have more space, and the students will be able to have a really nice setting while moving from one class to another or from one activity to another.
