Reeds for Woodwinds!

Help me give my students reeds for my woodwind students to play their instruments

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Yamamoto's classroom raised $724

My Project

My students are passionate young musicians who strive to improve their skills every day, but many face financial challenges that make it difficult to afford essential supplies like reeds for their clarinets and saxophones. Reeds are a crucial part of these instruments, directly affecting sound quality, ease of play, and overall musical success. Unfortunately, students often struggle with old, worn-out reeds that make it harder for them to develop their technique and confidence. By providing fresh, high-quality reeds, I can ensure that every student has the tools they need to focus on making music rather than worrying about whether their equipment will hold them back.

With your generous support, my students will have access to the reeds they need to perform at their best in class, concerts, and festivals.

This project will not only enhance their playing experience but also foster a sense of pride and dedication in their musical journey. Many of my students dream of continuing music beyond the classroom, and having the right materials will empower them to reach their full potential. Your donation will make a tangible difference in their musical education, helping them to sound their best and feel confident in their abilities. Thank you for supporting young musicians and their passion for music!
