My Project
I have the joy of teaching incredible 6th to 8th grade orchestra students, and we’re currently in need of a digital piano to support our daily music lessons.
This piano will be used every day to help students with:
Intonation and tuning
Music reading and rhythm
Practice exercises and performance preparation
It will also be a key part of our Fall and Spring concerts.
With your generous donation, our students will be able to hear correct pitches, stay in rhythm, and develop their musical skills faster and more confidently. Your support can make a real difference in their music education journey.
Please consider donating to help us secure a digital piano for the 2025–2026 school year.
Thank you for supporting the arts and investing in our young musicians!
