My Project

For the past year, students have been playing on instruments that have been hardly maintained or taken care of. They have been struggling to find motivation to practice because it has been difficult for them to play on broken instrument.

By having the supplies necessary to fix them, my students will be able to finally enjoy playing again.

They will have working instruments that will support their level of playing. These various tools can be used to help fix these instruments, while also helping us to save money on taking them into a shop.
