My Project

Welcome to Reed Reach, where we're on a mission to empower budding musicians with the tools they need to create beautiful music. Our project aims to establish a specialized band store focused on providing high-quality woodwind reeds to aspiring players in our community.

Woodwind instruments form the backbone of many school bands and music programs, offering students a gateway to express themselves through music.

However, the cost and accessibility of quality reeds can be a significant barrier for young musicians, particularly those from underprivileged backgrounds. Many students struggle to afford the reeds they need to hone their craft, limiting their ability to fully explore their musical potential.

With your support, Reed Reach will bridge this gap by offering affordable and reliable woodwind reeds for clarinets, saxophones, oboes, and more. By centralizing access to these essential supplies, we can ensure that every aspiring musician in Yerington has the opportunity to develop their skills without financial barriers holding them back.

Your donation will directly contribute to the establishment of the Reed Reach band store so musicians have the tools they need for band each day.

Together, let's empower the next generation of musicians to reach their full potential. Your contribution to Reed Reach will not only provide tangible resources but will also foster a sense of belonging and inspiration within our community. Thank you for joining us in this mission to enrich lives through the power of music.
