My Project

This project is working to provide instruments as well as instrument accessories for students whom can’t afford to get their own. An instrument is needed for the class for them to learn music whereas the accessories provide materials needed to properly and successfully learn their instrument.

The goal of this project is to help maintain the instrument accessory and instrument inventory for students whom can’t afford their own so they are not exempt from learning an instrument.

No student should be excluded from a music class because of cost, so our program works to provide instruments for every student.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
