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

Our middle school band program is 9 years old and continuing to build. We now have an established band program but require financial support to continue what we started. Our school is located 7 miles from downtown Houston. We are asking for help in continuing to offer a quality band program to this community, one “in tune” with successful band programs in surrounding school districts especially the programs in more affluent areas. Every child deserves the opportunity to a quality music education and to be a part of a quality band program.

My Project

Technology has become an integral part of teaching in any classroom and that includes music rooms. It has become more common to see a teacher using a projector and a screen than a chalkboard.

With a laptop and a projector, a “smart board” becomes a giant “touch-screen”.

An interactive “chalkboard”; yes, times have changed.

Thanks to the internet, we also have access to many educational videos of the finest musicians in the world sharing their craft. With recent floods, school funds are especially tight. We have a smart board in the room but all of the projectors are being used. Please help us offer the finest music education possible for our young talent and help us fund a projector.
