To play a woodwind instrument like a flute or a clarinet, students need a small piece of wood that we call a Reed. The cost of reeds can get expensive so with your help we can make it so that students never have to worry about not being able to play because they don't have a reed. Every student deserves the opportunity to make beautiful music. We are also trying to expand the number of students that can play by adding new instruments. This flute would go a long way toward helping with this goal. Playing a musical instrument helps create a new way for the brain to solve problems and that is what i strive to teach my students.
