Rockin' to the Beat!

Help me give my students electric and bass guitars to start their modern band!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Hartley's classroom raised $1,371

This project is fully funded

My Project

I teach music at JGSES in beautiful Savannah, GA. Music is the universal language and my students are very excited to be creating their own rock band! Through music, students are able to express their emotions, thoughts, and individuality.

Our classroom has a few instruments to start our band, however, we are in need of a few more.

For every student to be able to play on an instrument, and not share, we need one more electric guitar and electric bass guitar and its accessories.

With your help, our students will be rockin' out in no time! We will have our first "Modern Band Bash" this May and my students cannot wait to show off their talent!

Thank you for your support in music education!
