My Project

Help my students get the supplies they need to be successful! Our orchestra has seen incredible growth the last few years! More kids than ever want to play a string instrument! Because of this, we are in need of supplies for the students who are not able to afford them. Our students are eager to play the best they can, and without these tools, they are limited. Good strings are essential to producing a high quality sound, and with your help, our students can achieve that! With these strings, I can also replace broken strings for the kids who can not afford to otherwise. Thank you!
