My Project

Our students have an extraordinary opportunity to enjoy working as a team to perform great music together in a collaborative and encouraging environment. They display amazing talent, work ethic, and compassion in helping others in their studies. I am amazed by their achievements every day, and thankful that I get to work as partners with them in exploring and creating music.

All students should have the chance to participate in Instrumental Music with access to quality materials.

We strive to provide every student with a school instrument who is in need, and look to offer opportunities to students with a wide variety of instrument choices. We have a growing Jazz Band program with a high level of interest in the electric bass. We only have two basses currently to offer for student use, and are hoping to double that number with this project. These basses will not only allow us to give more students the chance to play the electric bass in Jazz Band, but also give the students the ability to practice at home with a complete kit of items needed to practice and perform.

I look forward to partnering with you, our donors, in helping make this project a reality for our students. Thank you for your consideration of our project and your generosity in any donation provided.
