My Project

I love how dedicated my students are to growing as musicians and supporting one another as a team. They take pride in their progress, encourage their peers, and show up ready to improve each day, even when resources are limited.

My mellophone players work especially hard while using less common mouthpieces that affect consistency.

Providing quality mouthpieces will help them produce a clear tone and build confidence. With proper equipment, they can focus on technique and musicianship.

My goal is to strengthen individual performance and the overall ensemble, helping students truly hear their growth.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
