The (88) Keys to Success!

Help me give my students two 88-key digital pianos for use as part of a workshop station in our classroom. After playing on limited classroom-sized student keyboards, these two pianos will give students endless opportunities.

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

Our diverse Arts Academy students are very lucky to have many opportunities to create, perform, and express themselves. With music ensemble options such as orchestra, band, choir, guitar ensemble, Brazilian percussion, and piano club, our students are always in search of additional ways to grow as musicians and performers. Our music department prides itself in fostering a love and respect for keyboard technique and theory regardless of the instrument or level at which our students play.

Given that the piano is an integral component of all of our music ensembles and classes, we are seeking your donations and help in acquiring two 88-key digital pianos for individual and small group theory/performance studies.

Our dream is to have both pianos placed back-to-back in the front corner of our large musical learning space. The soon-to-be-named "Piano Pedagogy Program" will allow for the students to work individually or in pairs while exploring more advanced repertoire that would be otherwise unplayable on standard classroom keyboards.
