My Project

The drums in my classroom are falling apart, and a new classroom set would last us decades and provide the essential foundation of music for thousands of students in this community over their lifetime.

Like many music programs, I am noticing a decrease in my yearly budget for the upcoming year.

With the many items to purchase, most notably sheet music for choir concerts, my budget is stretched quite thin and I cannot purchase these drums without breaking up the purchase over several years. Having a mismatched set of drums would cause disruption for many of my students as they learn best when everyone has equal opportunities and access. Please help improve the learning experience for my students with a drum that is properly tuned, well constructed, and fun to play.
