My young musicians need reeds!
I teach 6th, 7th and 8th grade band in an extremely high need area. These kids love to play music, but it seems like this year, kids are having a real problem just getting the basics. Many students go days without playing because they can't buy reeds. I have provided many of them reeds, but my personal funds are running a little thin. It would be great to be able to provide kids with this basic requirement so that they can continue to play in band.
My students come from a very low income area and the parents are struggling just to get them the basics. The parents, in many cases, have made a sacrifice just getting them an instrument. Now that times have gotten tougher, it's been very hard for some of them to buy reeds for their kids.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
