Amp Up the Music: Keyboards Take Center Stage

Help me give my students two Donner Keyboard Amplifiers for our Modern Band program.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Kubajak's classroom raised $370

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our modern band is thriving, and the students’ enthusiasm for the keyboards is undeniable—keyboards are easily the most popular instrument in the group! To ensure that every student has a chance to be heard and fully participate, we need additional Donner keyboard amplifiers to support our growing band.

With these amps, we can create an inclusive environment where all our budding musicians get their moment to shine.

Right now, we’re limited by the number of amps we have which means some students miss out on the chance to be fully heard during practices and performances. Amplifying their sound will not only boost their confidence but also enhance their experience in the band, allowing them to feel more connected to the music and their peers.

These students are passionate about music and dedicated to improving their skills. They thrive in a creative environment that encourages exploration, collaboration, and self-expression. With your help, we can provide the tools they need to make sure every note is heard and every student feels valued.

Thank you for helping us turn up the volume on creativity and inclusion in our music program!
