Pianos!

My students need batteries for their keyboards.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Thompson's classroom raised $378

This project is fully funded

My Students

Our students have a passion for music and need batteries to power their keyboards.

This is a middle school where our 5th grade students get to see five of their teachers an equal amount of time each day.

These five subject matters are math, science, humanities, language arts, and MUSIC! The 5th grade music curriculum is based on the study of voice and piano.

My Project

Our students will be able to express themselves through music on their pianos. This study of music performance will help them to create meaningful experiences in school. The bond musicians get from playing together reinforces the feeling of community.

Our music program fosters happiness, confidence, and expression in students.

We focus on the music they love and expose them to music that we love. When the sounds our students create harmonize, it is pure natural beauty from the core of humankind.
