My Students

My students need more music equipment for our upcoming Spring Concert, and we are asking for your help!

I am fortunate to teach a great group of middle school band students.

They come to school everyday eager to learn about music and excited to share their knowledge with their peers. My students come from diverse backgrounds and many of my students have parents or guardians in the military. In addition, most of my 6th-8th grade students aren't able to provide their own instrument for the school year and rely on the school to provide them with an instrument and instrument accessories. I am happy to see that the music program at my school is growing, but because of budget cuts, the instrument supply cannot grow along with the program.

My Project

My classroom is currently in need of wind chimes, a chimes stand, a conga stand, a chime hammer, straight mutes for my trumpet players, and neck straps for my saxophone players. Providing these instruments and instrument accessories will help my students play their music culturally and historically correct. Currently, my students are learning about the Renaissance and African culture through the music they are playing at their next concert. Unfortunately, my classroom is missing the percussion instruments and instrument accessories that would allow my students to authentically perform these pieces.

Supporting my project would make a huge difference in my classroom.

Having this equipment will ensure that my students play their concert pieces with the proper instrumentation. At this time, our school does not have the funds to purchase this necessary equipment. Your donations to my project would not only help my kids become better musicians, but it would help them better understand different cultures and time periods through music.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
