My Project

Hello, I work for a Title 1 School. Most of my students are first and second generation immigrants who are hungry for musical experiences. Our music department is woefully underfunded and by helping us get these Pearl Concert Toms, my students can have the chance to perform a much larger variety of music.

These instruments can be used in various ensembles, such as our concert band and also a percussion ensemble.

These ensembles give my students a chance to express themselves and these instruments add more ways they can do that. These Concert Toms will also be used for many years to come as well and many young musicians will be able to find a love for music with them.
