String and Reed up the Band and Orchestra

Help me give my students reeds and strings to make an amazing ensemble of music learning and joy!

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Shinbo's classroom raised $744

This project is fully funded

My Project

Many of my students enjoy learning and being in band and orchestra but cannot afford the supplies that are small, used often and wear out after a while. Reeds and Strings will provide students the most common of supplies needed to play in band and orchestra!

My students truly enjoy playing in the band and orchestra and often volunteer to do multiple performances that aren’t necessarily required.

Your support will allow my students more opportunities to play and be exposed and learn about different types of music and represent our school and themselves!
