My Project
My students are a very talented and diverse group who are energized to learn and continue learning how to play their instruments. Our school places the performing arts high on its priority list because of the positive impact that it can have on students' academic and social lives. These students want to grow as musicians and attain a high level of performance. Help my students reach their full potential in orchestra by having equipment that works. Anybody who has ever had a car or other equipment that didn't work well knows how frustrating it can be. Help us make music!
