Help me give my students the tools needed for safe and efficient percussion practice!
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Van Orman's classroom raised $635
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
We are excited to announce our project for acquiring quiet practice materials for musicians. These specialized tools, including dampening drum gels, low-volume practice cymbals, and rubber drumstick tips are designed to foster consistent practice without disturbing others. Our percussionists practice diligently and deserve to use our equipment as often as possible. Importantly, these supplies also help prevent hearing loss by reducing the need for loud sound levels during practice sessions.
By supporting this fundraiser, you'll be contributing to a healthier and more considerate musical environment.
Join us in promoting safe and effective practice habits while helping musicians of all ages protect their hearing for years to come. Every contribution makes a difference!
More than half of students from low‑income households
