My Project

My students are bright, creative, and full of enthusiasm for learning through music. Every day, they come to class ready to sing, play instruments, move to the beat, and work together as a team. Music gives them a chance to express themselves, build confidence, and connect with others, and I love seeing their excitement when they master a new rhythm or perform for their classmates.

Right now, our classroom has a mix of old, wobbly, and mismatched chairs that make it hard for students to sit safely and focus during lessons.

Thanks to previous support, we’ve been able to replace most of them—but we still need seven more chairs to complete the set.

By providing these final chairs, my students will have the comfort and stability they need to sit with proper posture, handle instruments carefully, and stay engaged during class activities. These chairs will help create a more organized and welcoming learning environment—one that shows students that their space and their learning matter. With your support, every child will finally have a proper seat to learn, make music, and shine together as a unified ensemble.
