My Students

Do you remember the feeling you had when you got a new instrument?

These students are in a rural high school in NC.

The level of income is low but their character and moral values are high, providing a fantastic learning and teaching opportunity. These students are fantastic individuals and come from great families and deserve the best.

My Project

We need new bass drum stands to help teach proper technique and to hold the bass drums we have. Right now we use old luggage racks from hotels. The students will be consistently playing with proper technique and posture. They will have some new equipment to help motivate and inspire them to enjoy and create music.

Donating to us will show the students that even though they come from a small town, great things are possible.

People care about what they do and support them, even though they do not know it.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
