My Project

We are SCC from Sellersburg IN. We are a growing choir department with little resources. We would love to have a new piano for our live concerts that won't go out of key, and will last a good long time. We have grown from a 22 student choir to 135 in 7 years. We really appreciate your help.

I also have students that don't have their own pianos at home and they can practice at school for concerts and contests.

Music is an essential pat of the human experience. It brings alive creativity, emotions, kindness, and joy. Not only that but it brings people together as a community, Music teaches team work and colaboration.
