Building a Music Room!

Help me give my students instruments to play this year in music! I'm starting a new music program and we don't have any instruments in the school. It will make a huge difference to have something to play!

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Milam's classroom raised $343

My Project

These instruments will allow me to start teaching the students some basics of instrument care and technique! With these instruments the students will finally have something to put their hands on in the music room and play and learn by doing!

My school has such fantastic students that want so badly to learn to be musicians.

There is plenty of room for them to strive in the future but getting some instruments in the room will help me to set the foundation for them as musician to strive to be better.
