My Project

Starting a school year in band means every student needs the right tools to be successful. For elementary and middle school musicians, reeds and pencils are essentials. We can't play or learn without them!

Reeds are consumable; they break, wear out and need to be replaced.

Many instruments do not create sound without them (clarinets and saxophones- the most popular instruments). A pencil dispenser ensures that every student can mark music quickly and stay prepared. With your help, my students will begin the year confident, equipped, and ready to make music together.
