Need New Flutes!!!

My students need two new flutes to continue their music education.

Jersey City, NJ Grades 9-12

I teach music in a low income school district. My small, but growing band, meets every day, plays for football games and all school assemblies. My students are extremely committed to their music even though the school is not able to support them financially.

My school currently has three flutes. It seems as though each of these is being sent out to be repaired consistently. Little repairs such as replacing pads is done in the classroom, but the repairs have become so frequent that I feel it is time to replace 2 of these instruments. My students deserve to be playing on functioning instruments!

With your help my students would not have to worry about their instrument breaking. They would have an instrument to use all the time rather than waiting for a repair to be made.

One of my flute players is highly interested in going to school for music and fairly, he needs an instrument that will function for school auditions! You would help him potentially get a scholarship and continue his music education!!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
