My Project

Each year, my third grade students love learning about instruments and finding the perfect instrument for them to start learning in fourth grade! Most students in our district pay a monthly fee to rent an instrument, which makes it difficult to encourage students to play the larger, more expensive instruments.

"No one can whistle a symphony - it takes a whole orchestra to play it." Halford Luccock

In order for our school band to have a balanced sound and to work on properly blending together, we must work to build our low brass section. So that we can encourage more students to play low brass, I am working to build a collection of baritones and trombones that students are able to borrow from the school at no cost to them.

Mrs. Frescura will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by August 28.
