Help me give my students instruments and materials we need for a new concert band program!
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. H Livingston's classroom raised $13,706
This project is fully funded
My Project
I have had the amazing opportunity to start a band program in a school that hasn’t had a music program for over 14 years.
We are missing a lot of basic instruments and equipment that the students would need for band!
Your donation to this project will help us get some essential percussion and wind instruments that we do not currently have.
This project will help us get a glockenspiel(bells), bass clarinet and other small percussion instruments that we are missing for the students. It will also help us get some much-needed equipment like a percussion storage box music staff white board and mouthpiece puller.
The school I work in has been very supportive of the new music programs I have been starting but cannot afford to purchase everything we really need at the moment. I don’t have simple essentials like a set of bells or a music staff white board.
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
