Music Instrument Maintenance & Safety

Help me give my students tools to help them store their guitars safely, replace strings and rosin their bows.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Astorga's classroom raised $503

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

To keep my students playing music, we must ensure they are safe. Please help me find a way to help store my student's guitars in a way where they will be organized. We have acquired a few guitar stands, and they worked wonders! I received more guitars, and I want to ensure they are safe. The requested multi-guitar stand holder will help do this for my students.

Aside from safety, we also could use new strings and rosin to help the students bow in the orchestra class.

By helping us fund our supplies, we can continue to offer free music education in a Title 1 school. Let's not worry about the money and more about the music!
