I teach music to grades 6-8 in a low-income public school in Missouri. Many are at poverty level, and some also experience violence in their neighborhoods on a daily basis. Sometimes music is the only solace to their day. In spite of their tumultuous lives outside of school, my students are eager to express themselves through music. Every day they enter the music room with excitement and an eagerness to learn! Unfortunately, I do not have enough working instruments in my classroom to further their music creativity. I am trying to fix that through Donorschoose!
