Help me give my students the tools they need to be independent and safe!
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Amphone's classroom raised $1,453
This project is fully funded
My Project
Help us supply students with essential items needed to play their violins and violas. Shoulder rests are essential for students to hold their instruments properly and prevent injury and tension. Currently not all students can afford shoulder rests and it has caused long term bad habits that will take a long time to reverse.
Tuners would help me teach my classes of over 50 students each.
Tuners would open up a whole new world of independence and allow me as the teacher the ability to put out more fires and not worry so much about helping kids tune.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
