My Project

We have developed a very cool very joyful musical classroom that incorporates lots and lots a songwriting, singing, and jamming out. We have a drum kit, a few electric guitars and basses, keyboards, and now we are adding strings into our mix. We have a few kids that have been asking for violin and cello to add to our growing rock and roll and hip hop inspired creative classroom. This cello will be a welcome addition to enhance our rocking out. This year we have written several songs and are now preparing a spring concert with original rap music and some creative covers. We will add the electric cello into the mix to further enhance the creative vibe!

Mr. Lane will only receive his materials if this project is fully funded by August 4.
