Goal

I would like to have enough keyboards and stands so that every students could have their own instrument to use in class without having to share with others. 

 

What will be done with my students

Last year's "Keys to Future Success" grant was an incredible learning experience for the students. It was expanded to include all students in our school, not just the 3rd thru 5th grade students. With class size in some classes as high as 26 students, it was necessary to have some students share keyboards so that everyone could experience learning to play the piano. By adding 3 keyboards, all of the students in each class will be able to learn at the same time. All of the students will be participating in this program for the 2nd year. The kindergarten students will be introduced to the keyboards for their 1st year of playing the piano. 

 

Benefits to my students

Research has proven that playing a musical instrument is a healthy exercise for the brains of the students. They are using both sides of the brain at the same time. Their brains are processing at least five things simultaneously. Learning to play the piano at this age is something that they will know for their lifetime and will continue to build on and improve each year they are at Lake Park Elementary School. 

 

Budget Narrative

These keyboards and stands are the same equipment that we already have and make our functional for all the students at the same time.
