Help Us Rock Out!

Help me give my students a drum set to rehearse on. Our bands perform for several public and school events throughout the year. Most of our students do not own their own drums to practice on.

My Project

At our School for the Arts, our aim is to make the arts accessible to a wider range of students who may not have had the opportunity otherwise. As the instructor of the Commercial Music class, my focus is on equipping our students with practical skills that they can use on public stages throughout the area. However, we face a challenge of limited instruments, which leads to some groups waiting for others to finish their rehearsals before they can access the gear they need. Despite these challenges, our students have repeatedly been asked to represent the school and the arts in the area. We believe that providing more gear will help us accommodate more students and enrich the learning and rehearsal process.
