Help me give my students music lesson books to start beginning band lessons!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Lauren Forgas's classroom raised $289

My Project

I have the privilege of teaching at two title one schools in the Harrisburg area. My students are amazing, hard working, and love being included in music performing ensembles! I would love to help many families, who find it difficult to provide all the needed supplies, get started with their child’s music education in 4th and 5th grade beginner band. Many families borrow instruments from the school and being able to give a book would be very helpful to get started on time with lessons instead of waiting on having access to books. It’s amazing how much more they can learn when they are prepared!!
