My Project
I am reaching out to request support for our music program, specifically for the acquisition of new pianos. Our goal is to ensure that our students receive high-quality instruction with the necessary resources to thrive in their musical education.
Currently, our students are sharing pianos—often two students to a single instrument—due to a number of broken pianos in the classroom.
This situation not only hampers their learning but also limits their ability to practice effectively. By providing new pianos, we can create an environment that fosters individual instruction, practice, and performance assessments.
The students in our program are truly remarkable. They have worked diligently to earn their spots through a rigorous audition process and commit at least 12-15 hours per week to honing their piano skills. Even under the challenging conditions of our current instruments, they continue to excel. However, to reach their full potential, it is essential that we equip them with the proper tools.
Our mission is to empower our students to become exceptional musicians. With the addition of new pianos, we can enhance their learning experience, boost their confidence, and ultimately nurture their talents to set them up for success in their future musical endeavors
