My Students

Our students are challenged by the poor quality instruments they now possess. Many of the instruments at our school are very old and have been put through a lot of use.

Our students are mostly students majoring in music.

They have a strong desire to play their instruments, but cannot afford to buy their own. It is up to the school to provide them with something to play. They would be very excited to receive a brand new instrument.

My Project

A new instrument will make playing more rewarding for the student. Better string instruments sound better and are easier to play. Our students are itching to play more challenging music, but right now our instruments are not up to the task. A better instrument will make that possible. My students need new violas to continue their studies in music.

Music is a very important part of our students lives.

Our students look forward to playing everyday. With a brand new instrument they will be able to take on more challenging music.
