Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Imagine, if you will, walking in my music room and seeing a student playing an acoustic guitar but you could not hear it over all the other instruments being played. I am referring to the electric acoustic guitar we got donated a few months ago. So, now we are in need of an amp for that electric acoustic guitar. What amps we have are for electric guitar and does not sound good with an acoustic guitar.

By donating and help funding this project will help our new guitar be heard.

I have a few guitar players who play both electric and acoustic guitar and we need the acoustic guitar to be heard along the electric guitars. Obtaining this amp will do just that.
