My Project

Join us in enhancing CMS's music program! Your support will equip our percussionists with quality chimes, enriching their learning experience. These specific instruments will unlock new musical dimensions, refining their skills and ensemble performances.

Our primary goal is to provide top-notch equipment that aligns with our students' dedication and passion for percussion.

These chimes will advance their musical capabilities and offer a broader range of sounds, fostering creativity and skill development.

What sets our students apart is their determined commitment to music. They exhibit exceptional dedication, teamwork, and enthusiasm, making every practice and performance a testament to their talent and hard work.

Your contribution ensures these aspiring musicians receive the instruments they deserve, empowering them to reach new heights in their musical journey. Join us in shaping the future of our percussionists!
