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

What I love about students is their focus and commitment to being exceptional leaders and displaying exceptional character. The students I teach are special because they understand the important role they play as arts advocates.

My students work hard everyday to become better people and musicians.

They attend a school where the arts curriculum is extended which helps them make greater strides in a short amount of time. Students work individually and in small ensembles to share their gift of music.

My Project

Please help support my students within the music classroom by providing them with a class set of tuners and tuner clips. Tuners are a very important tool for musicians to use during all stages of their music education.

By providing students with the appropriate tools for success, they will be able to perform with greater confidence.

Often times in a music classroom, it is difficult to tune individually, especially if you do not have the clip on tuner pickups. By providing pickups in addition to the tuners, students will be able to tune individually even when external sounds are present.
