Have a Seat in Music

Help me give my students supplies for their instruments and a drum seat to use during concerts.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Fitch's classroom raised $456

This project is fully funded

My Project

We have cellos but do not have the supplies that it takes to use the cellos to their fullest potential. The endpins will help keep the cellos secure as students play. The drum seat will be able to be versatile in its use. It will be used as a seat for drummers and pianists. The mallets will help students continue to work on their rhythms and keeping the beat. This is a foundation for learning to be and becoming a great musician. Your consideration to help us is so greatly appreciated.
