My Project

I would like to give my future band members free books that they will be able to use for their first two years in the band. I teach in a very rural, low socioeconomic area.

For many of my band families, $10 for a book is a hardship.

I would love to be able to just hand them a book that will be the basis of their beginner band experience. Most of the basic concepts that they learn in the band are contained within our method book. There is also an online based practice program that is free with the book.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
