Goal

Dear Members of the Grant Review Committee,

I am writing to request funding in the amount of $2,000 to acquire bajo quintos for our K-5th-grade elementary music program at Eden Park Elementary. We are deeply committed to providing a comprehensive music education that encompasses diverse musical experiences and instruments, and introducing bajo quintos will further enrich our students' musical journey. 

What will be done with my students

Project Overview:
The "Strumming to Success" project aims to introduce bajo quintos, a traditional Mexican string instrument, to our K-5th grade students as a vital component of our music curriculum. Bajo quintos offer a unique and culturally enriching opportunity for students to explore the world of music. By integrating bajo quintos into our program, we aspire to inspire a deeper appreciation for music, enhance students' musical skills, and encourage their engagement in diverse musical traditions.

Project Objectives:

Instrument Familiarization: Provide hands-on experience with bajo quintos to students across all grade levels, allowing them to explore the instrument's unique sound and playing techniques.

Cultural Enrichment: Introduce students to the rich cultural heritage of Mexican music through the bajo quinto, fostering an appreciation for diverse musical traditions.

Music Literacy: Utilize the bajo quinto as a tool to enhance music literacy, teaching students about notes, scales, and musical theory in an engaging and interactive manner.

Performance Opportunities: Offer students the opportunity to perform traditional Mexican music on bajo quintos at school events, assemblies, and cultural celebrations, fostering their confidence and showcasing their musical talent. 

Benefits to my students

Anticipated Impact:

Conclusion:
We firmly believe that a comprehensive music education is essential for the holistic development of our students, and the introduction of bajo quintos will significantly enhance their educational experience. We kindly request your support in making the "Strumming to Success" project a reality and providing our K-5th grade students with a unique and culturally enriching musical opportunity.
