Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

I am a Little Kids Rock teacher who has more than two hundred middle school guitar students on campus in grades 6-8. Students learn how to play the guitar and perform the music that they love. They work in small groups(individual rock bands) and perform cover songs as well as original music. The other musicians on campus (200 students) are keyboardists, drummers, vocalists, and horn players. We teach the following classes at our school; contemporary rock band, advanced and beginning guitar, keyboard, Latin ensemble, brass ensemble, beginning and advanced strings, choir, and Drum line and implement the Little Kids Rock philosophy and curriculum in all of these classes.

Since we have so many guitarists and not enough guitars to supply the demand, students have to share instruments. The wear and tear on the guitars due to constant use causes strings, pegs, cases, nuts to break.

Having strings readily available will keep the instruments maintained. We want to expand the life of the guitars so that they can be used for the next five years regardless of the fact that each guitar is used by at least three different students per day. We are slowly adding to our guitar inventory so that eventually, students will not have to share them.

You will make it possible for all of the instruments that we have to be used by our talented guitarists.
