My students need these 3 half-size violins in order to learn proper technique.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Baser's classroom raised $831
This project is fully funded
I teach strings (traditional and Suzuki) for grades K-5 at a magnet school for the arts in a high poverty community.
At my school, anyone who wants to play a string instrument is given the opportunity to do so, but I do not have enough fractional size instruments to ensure that everyone is on the correct size instrument.
Adding three more 1/2 size violins will allow students to avoid the frustration of trying to play an instrument that is too large.
As these instruments will be used for years to come, your assistance will allow many students to have a positive musical experience as part of their education.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
