Our Rockin' Guitars And Band Needs Supplies

My students need musical equipment, such as guitar strings and picks, to help form our "rock band."

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Powers's classroom raised $396

This project is fully funded

My Students

Didn't you always want to form a rock/jazz band in school? I know I did but our school did not have the equipment. We have guitars but lack picks and strings (for when they pop). We have a single snare drum but no drum set or bass.

At our school we just formed the music program.

Students are super excited to learn about music. We have both small guitars and pianos and small classroom drums. We really would like a drum set and supplies for the guitars. The students love music and only get it once a week. Having these things in the classroom makes the students want to come in before/after school and during their lunch to practice music.

My Project

This equipment is so vital for the success of our students to form a rock band and jazz band at school. Having a drum set in the classroom is such a visual motivator. The supplies for the guitars are very important because we already have popped strings that have not been fixed and no picks.

This project would mean the world to me and my students!

Help us form a rock and jazz band!! This can change students lives though music. My students love music and would thrive with this equipment.
