Setting Students up for Musical Success

Help me give my students the basic instrumental supplies in order to continue to be successful musicians.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Brown's classroom raised $527

My Project

My students come from a wide variety of backgrounds, but most being from a lower socio-economic status. Many of them lack the funds and ability to acquire the necessary materials to perform and maintain basic maintenance on their instruments. This negatively affects their success in music.

With your donation, our students will be better equipped with the performance materials they need to make beautiful music!

When their reeds get old and worn out, students will be able to replace them with new ones enabling good tone production. When rehearsal ends, students will be able to properly clean and dry their instruments keeping them in good working condition throughout the year. How frustrating it is to make music on an instrument that is not working properly. With these items, students have a better chance for musical success!
