My Project

Our Orchestra students have an extraordinary opportunity to enjoy working as a team to perform great music together in a collaborative and encouraging environment. They display amazing talent, work ethic, and compassion in helping others in their studies. I am amazed by their achievements every day, and thankful that I get to work as partners with them in exploring and creating music.

All students should have the chance to participate in Instrumental Music using quality materials.

We strive to provide every student with a school instrument who is in need. However, our current instrument inventory is aging and worn, with many instruments being purchased decades ago and long past their serviceable use. These new violins, violas, and cello will see immediate use and be appreciated by the students who will make music with them.

I look forward to partnering with you, our donors, in helping make this project a reality for our students. Thank you for your consideration of our project and your generosity in any donation provided.
