My Project

Our school needs a new sustain pedal and some new instrument cables for use in jazz band and band classes.

Our keyboard sustain pedal recently bit the dust and our cables are beyond their useful lifespan and need replaced.

The keyboard that we use in jazz band doesn't have a sustain pedal at the moment and students desperately need a new one. When you press down the sustain pedal, it allows to the notes to ring without holding the keys down. Our upright bass and guitar students have instrument cables that are many years old and need to be replaced with new high-quality ones. The students will use these cables to plug their instruments into an amplifier. Thank you for taking a few minutes to look inside my classroom and for supporting my vision for a fully funded band program with all the materials that I need for student success!
