Standing Up for Correct Playing Posture in the Music Room

Help me give my students an instrument stand so they can practice correct posture.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. McCartney's classroom raised $256

This project is fully funded

My Project

This instrument stand will help the students stand up while playing their instrument. This will help to get them off the floor and not hunched over while they play and sing.

Correct posture is so important in music.

It helps to open up your lungs so you can sing correctly. It also helps to get the students to use correct posture while playing their instrument.

I am in a rural school, and the school does not have funding opportunities for supplying these basic musical needs. Thank you for helping to get these kids off the floor and up making beautiful music.
