My Project

All of my students are beginning to learn how to play instruments. Many of the students don't have access to the funds needed to purchase their own reed or mouthpiece. Receiving these reeds and mouthpieces will allow my students to not stress over the inability to participate in class.

These reeds and mouthpieces will allow my students the opportunity to learn to play the Clarinet and Alto Saxophone.

Having reeds and mouthpieces for my students will allow them to learn at the same rate as their classmates. Without the reed, a clarinet and saxophone cannot produce a sound. The reed vibrates against the mouthpiece to produce the sound. The other instruments added to the project are to help make sure we have enough instruments for our students to play!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
