New Keyboard Needed to Level Up

Help me give my students a hammer action keyboard and relevant accessories to elevate their modern band experience.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Smock's classroom raised $978

This project is fully funded

My Project

This project will provide my students a high-quality, weighted keyboard and relevant accessories perfect for performing in a modern band setting.

Right now, my 6th grade and modern band students use small, unweighted keyboards, which have served us well the past year, but I’m excited to say we have outgrown these and are ready for an upgrade!

The keyboard I selected is full-size and has hammer action keys, which will give students a much better playing experience. I have also included a keyboard stand, bench, sustain pedal, amplifier, cord, and audio adapters that will support students’ practice and performance.

Seeing my students light up when they get an instrument in their hands is one of the best parts of my job, and I want to give them the best instruments and equipment I can. Thank you for helping make this possible!
