We Need To Tune Our Pianos!

My students need in-tune pianos!

My Students

The challenge facing my students is learning to sing and play musical instruments. An in-tune piano is vital for them to learn to sing and play as we work on songs in music classes.

My students come from low income families in an urban school district setting.

They are a very enthusiastic group of musicians. They love to play music and put on fantastic shows for the school community. They are a very diverse group of young musicians.

My Project

I am requesting to bring in a professional technician to tune two pianos. Because we have a very active music program, we use our pianos very frequently. That causes the pianos to go out of tune. Your generous donation will keep our pianos fantastic.

Your donation will make a huge impact on the lives of students.

You will be giving them the gift of a high quality music education. Learning to sing to a nice in-tune piano will definitely help the quality of the songs.
