Bringing the Music Home

Help me give my students a chance to own their very own instrument.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Tower's classroom raised $572

My Project

In 3rd grade, the students at the Murkland get to play recorder. This is the first time that the students get their own instrument with their name on it. Every year, we have a ton of students who want to bring their instruments home to practice and show their families. We unfortunatly can't allow that as they could get forgotten at home and then those students would have nothing to play during class.

I would love to allow students to take a recorder home so they can share their excitement and love of music with their families.

Not all of my students can afford a quality recorder. These recorders would be able to be taken home by those who want them. This will allow them to practice at home and also show their families what they are working on in class.
