Strike Up the Band!

My students need three trombones to start our new band!

Give the gift of a lifetime of music! I teach instrumental music to 6th, 7th and 8th grade students in New York City.

The Arts develop self-esteem, creative problem-solving skills, teamwork, community-building, patience, discipline and self-expression. Unfortunately, recent budget cuts in NYC schools stand in the way of giving more kids access to the academic and developmental benefits of participation in the Arts.

These amazing children need instruments to play. We don't need 76 trombones...just three will make a huge difference for these amazing children.

Your generosity will impact these children's lives in an amazing way. The experience you'll give them will stay with them for the rest of their lives. We will be incredibly grateful for what you've done for us!
