My Students

My students are hardworking and dedicated to improving their music program. They have enthusiasm and zest for learning and creating music. As a smaller school, they know each other well and often I see the older students helping and guiding the younger students.

Our school community is small and in an area of great need, which is why this music project is so important to our students.

I have been successful with some fundraising as well as funding from our school to repair and replace numerous instruments and equipment. Having quality instruments and equipment provides encouragement and additional motivation to succeed!

My Project

Having equipment that is in great working condition will help our students achieve a higher level of success. Music stands that do not need constant adjustments with pliers would mean more time for both myself and my students devoted to making music and teaching.

Our students have often made the best of our situation by playing on timpani and practice pads that do not work correctly or simply are in disrepair.

The more I have been able to restore broken instruments and equipment, the more pride I see them show in their music program and school. Our students have grown quite a bit since I started teaching them last year, I hope to continue that growth with acquiring excellent condition music stands and high quality timpani and practice pads.
