Mr. Spittler from Keyser WV is requesting musical instruments through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

New Piano for KMS Music

Help me give my students a quality music education and replace outdated and damaged equipment.

My Project

My small choral/music classroom has a 1917 Wm. Knabe and Co. 6' grand piano that has fallen into disrepair. Keys have stopped working properly, it does not hold a tune, and has generally become more of a daily irritation in my room than an asset to my teaching. I am trying to raise money to purchase a digital keyboard which will be far more conducive to teaching in my environment. Any amount of money that can be donated to help this project is greatly appreciated. My students deserve to have a quality music education with updated and working equipment.
