My Students

Our students consistently have to fund raise in order to keep our performing arts program free.

We have wonderful students that attend a 6-8 middle school in New Jersey.

We have two choirs and two bands here, and our students consistently produce at a high standard and quality. Even with their success, we consistently need to raise funds in order to have the program continue to move forward.

My Project

These auxiliary percussion parts might seem small and insignificant to the outside perspective, but they are very often vital to the proper execution of instrumental music. Additionally, for these students to be properly prepared for future music education, they need to learn how to use the instruments properly, and that only comes with actually having them to work on.

This is a one time purchase, not something that needs consistent payments over a long period of time.

Once we have these materials they will be maintained and used by students for many years to come.
