My Students

All of my students come from low to lower-middle-class income families in an extremely diverse community of Queens Village, NY.

There are over 900 children in our school ranging from PK to 5th Grade.

We have been lucky to offer music to most of them, but now with the Pandemic, most of the instrument practice still takes place at home.

My Project

I would like to provide recorder flutes for my students to allow them to practice at home, and at school. We are back at school and we need more music supplies, especially simple instruments for the lower grades.

This is Mr. P - the music teacher in Queens Village.

Can you imagine that it has been already 7 years.

As you know we have established a wonderful music program here in the school. Children are able to sing, participate in many concerts and learn how to play instruments. It was a mutual effort of all the parents, teachers, and the administration that led us to it.
