I teach music k- 6 grade. We are an inner city school who has started the first guitar elementary band in Mississippi.

Music is the program that doesn't get funded. We are a 92% free lunch program school. Please help me to have a quality program, that help keep kids off the streets.

A drum set is just a start for our guitar band and classroom needs. This item helps include more students in the educational process. The drum will help me teach rhythm to all ages and allow my gifted students to perform with the guitar band, I can teach blues, country, jazz more effectively.

I am donating my afterschool time free to encourage these kids to stay off the streets and learn a great instrument. Your donation will open doors for future scholarships to college.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
