My Project

I am working to build up the music program in my school, and it is my ultimate goal to provide my students with a world class music education. In order to make this education accessible to everyone, I need various instrument supplies for my students to use, as well as care and maintenance tools so that I can help my students take care of their instruments.

Over the past few years of being in my position, the band program at East Windsor has grown by 50% and is continuing to expand due to high student interest.

Band is one of the major aspects of school that motivates students to come into learn each day, and if I am able to receive more funding, I can impact more students to bring a positive energy to our school as a whole.

This is all to help our students grow as young musicians, and to make sure they have access to great equipment that we need to replenish each year. This project will help dozens of students play the awesome music we have in store for years to come!
