My Project
Our music program is growing, but we currently don’t own any violas. As we expand to include string instruments, many students are eager to explore new opportunities, but the lack of equipment limits what we can offer. Adding four Yamaha violas to our program will allow us to develop a string section and provide students with access to instruments that support their growth and learning.
High-quality violas will make a meaningful difference in my students’ education.
These instruments will ensure students can build proper technique and develop their skills on reliable equipment. My goal is to create an inclusive music program where every student has the tools to succeed. My students are talented and motivated, coming from diverse backgrounds and demonstrating a strong commitment to learning. With these violas, they’ll be able to explore new music and experience the joy of playing as part of a full ensemble.
This project will not only benefit current students but will also enhance the program for years to come. By supporting this project, you’ll help us expand access to music education and inspire students to reach their potential. Thank you for helping us make music accessible and exciting for all!
