Boost the Bass Line

My students need an electric bass guitar to enhance their unique abilities and maximize their choral experience.

We have limited funding but limitless talent in our small rural community. My hope is to keep my students interested in chorus by expanding our accompaniment from piano only to electric bass as well. This will not only show my chorus' talent but some exceptional musicianship.

I have a seventh grade student who has many musical talents. He plays four instruments and has a beautiful singing voice. I would like to have this bass guitar so that he could accompany my choruses not only vocally but instrumentally as well.

This electric bass guitar will keep my students excited about music! This excitement can be shared with our community through our many concerts, veteran's programs, ensembles, and festivals.

You can make it possible to enrich my students' choral experience in ways I cannot, with my very limited budget. My students are not only talented they are grateful and they will certainly appreciate the gift of an electric bass guitar.
