Students from our school come from a lower socio-economic area. They need opportunities to experience music. Instruments inspire, motivate and help students learn music. One of the best instruments to learn and experience music is the violin. Learning the violin in elementary school gives students current opportunities to experience music in a variety of settings, from individual solo performances to group settings of string quartet, string orchestra and full symphony orchestra with strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion instruments. Additionally, these elementary school music experiences can continue and foster further music participation in middle and high school, university and professional orchestras. Currently, we have a violin instructor that comes from the district music supervisors office to teach one music class. However, my school does not have enough violins for the whole class. If I had enough violins, students could learn violin in all my 3rd through 5th grade classes. Currently, our school only has 9 violins. Now, we are in need of about 13 violins or as many as we can acquire. Receiving this donation allows our school to buy 4 more student size violins. Our school is a Title I school and cannot spend money from its limited budget on new violins. Help our students learn music by giving them violins to participate and experience music.
