All of my students come from low to lower middle class income families in the extremely diverse community of Queens Village, NY. There are over 1,200 children in my school, in grades PK-5 with large classroom sizes reaching 35 children per class. They are extremely curious, intelligent, multilingual children with a great grasp of the environment and their surroundings. They crave knowledge, and are inspired by new things. They take any little thing with great appreciation and are eager to work hard in my music class.
This is a new music program, and we have very little to go by. The new principal has been wonderful and supportive. I am able to do General Music classes, as well as Chorus. I would love to have some basic essentials, and with time, introduce Orff instruments, and perhaps even form a small string ensemble. I am willing to put my sweat and tears into helping these children. Music is important. Please help us bring it to these children.
