Flex Music for a Flex Band

Help me give my students purchase music for a greatly reduced band class without full instrumentation.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Reef's classroom raised $269

This project is fully funded

My Students

The students here love their music classes from music history to guitar class. I try to give them what they need for their music classes. You see the results of the piano, guitar, and band classes at each concert throughout the school year.

I teach at an inner-city school that has a high level of exceptional students who enjoy going to school and learning.

It's my job to provide them with whatever they need to learn and achieve their goals in education. My school is small and doesn't get the funding that other schools do. It's important to educate the whole child and music is a part of that.

My Project

The items will be used in Concert Band class. Right now we don't have a lot if instrumentation to work with. The pandemic has really cut down on student participation in music classes. The second year of covid in schools have changed

Concert Band of 50 or so students to about 7-10 students.

We need music or flex band arrangements to still give the students who are there a full band experience to hear all the musical lines performed. Also a few supplies for band students right now for school and home practice.
