Make A Stand For It!

My Students

Every student in the school from KG - Grade 6 has a music lesson every week. My students love their music lessons and look forward to their lessons every week!

Music is a time for them to be creative, collaborate, have fun, develop leadership skills, move, listen and make music together.

Approximately 85 students participate in music before and after school, activities include guitars, recorders and 2 string orchestras. The students are always enthusiastic to showcase their performances in our regular music festivals.

My Project

My students don't have enough music stands and the stands we have are flimsy and in terrible shape. These smart black concert stands will have give them a sense of purpose in rehearsals and pride in performance. They will actually be able see their music in front of them rather than sharing 4 to a stand.

It will save us valuable rehearsal time setting up and putting away equipment, giving us more time to practice and work together.

All the students that play in my orchestras, guitars and recorders will benefit from having great music stands that they can use!
