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

As young musicians aspiring who are discovering their voice and artistry, it is important that students are able to project and have others hear them. Many times the beauty and subtle dynamic expressions of their vocal performances are lost due to the inability to be heard clearly.

Having a portable sound system that can be setup in minutes by anyone would go along way in aiding their artistic development.

They can perform with confidence knowing they will be heard without having to shout at any event they are performing for.
