My Project

Since there is no music store close to our school, students need to wait until their parents have time to take them to get what they need.

Because of this, some of my students wait weeks or even a month before they get the supplies they need to play.

Reeds are necessary for woodwinds to play their instruments. For the brasses, they will use the valve oil to help unstick their old valves.

Having things they always use like reeds and valve oil on hand to help alleviate this, will save my parents and students a trip into town to get them.
