My Project

My students are amazing musicians with a hunger for knowledge! They are constantly looking to try new instruments, and I want to meet that need with two acoustic-electric bass guitars to expand our instrument offerings. With a growing number of students expressing interest in playing the bass guitar, these instruments will ensure that every student who wishes to learn has the opportunity to do so, fostering their musical voice and choice.

These electric-acoustic bass guitars can offer a more comprehensive musical education that includes modern band experiences, even for our youngest students in the primary grades.

The size and versatility of these instruments make them ideal for introducing students to the joy of creating music together, regardless of their age or experience level. My goal for this project is to increase access to instruments and introduce students to the unique sounds and roles that different instruments play in an ensemble.

What makes my students special is their enthusiasm for learning and their curiosity about different musical instruments. They are eager to explore, experiment, and express themselves through music, and these bass guitars will give them the tools they need to do just that. By supporting this project, you are helping to ensure that every student has the opportunity to find their voice in our musical community, while also nurturing a lifelong love for music.

Thank you for helping me provide the resources my students need to thrive and grow as musicians.
