Orchestra Supplies to Bring Students Together Through Music!

Help me give my students shoulder rests, tuners, and rosins so they can learn to play as an orchestra and create music for their community!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Boyce's classroom raised $697

This project is fully funded

My Project

My orchestra students are passionate, curious, and full of potential. What I love most about them is their determination—they come ready to learn, grow, and create music together each day. Their energy and teamwork make our classroom a joyful and inspiring place.

Teaching orchestra is special because it builds confidence, discipline, and community.

Each student brings something unique to our ensemble, and together we create something beautiful. It's not just about music—it's about connection.

By providing tuners, rosin, and shoulder rests, you're helping students learn proper technique and develop their sound. These tools make quality music-making possible!
