My Students

My students are my children! They are the sweetest, most energetic, and funniest children I've ever worked with. They love music! They love to sing and dance. Even the quietest and shy kids come alive when it's performance time. They are proud to showcase their talents, as they should be.

My Project

My students love music. In the past two students would share one keyboard during music class. However, because we have to practice social distancing, I do not have enough keyboards for each student. I also do not have much space in our small music classroom for big keyboards. Five mini keyboards would benefit my students, especially my kindergarten classes (and their little fingers).

Music is MAGIC!

These five mini keyboards will definitely give my kids the ability to create, build self-confidence, focus, persevere, and achieve. Even if it's playing 2 correct notes; that's a major accomplishment!
