Tickling the Wee Ivories

My students need a piano bench for the piano in our choral rehearsal room.

Mr. Howard Northwest Cabarrus High School
Concord, NC Grades 9-12

Help us make great music! We are very proud of the chorus program at our high school, as our ensembles are frequently rated as some of the best in the state. However, we are not in an extremely affluent area, so we sometimes have to make due with less-than-ideal equipment and supplies. We would be very grateful for your help!

The piano bench that we use for the piano in our rehearsal room has become broken after many years of use, and we don't currently have the funds to replace it.

We need a new piano bench that will allow our accompanist to sit in the right position to play. It is very difficult to play well while sitting on a regular chair, or anything else, and a new bench will help our accompanist to play to the best of their ability, which will help us to sing to the best of our ability.

By helping us to purchase this piano bench, you will help us to make great music together, and to develop into excellent musicians.
