My Students

My students are not just kids; they are musicians. The love and excitement for music that they bring to my class are wonderfully astounding. To say that my students love music would be a serious understatement.

The passion for music that my students show does more than impress me; it inspires me!

Because they are such an inspiration, I want to give my students every opportunity possible to bring music to life. These students want to grow as independent musicians, and I want to give them the resources to do that. These kids deserve it!

My Project

I've never seen a student that wasn't excited about learning with instruments. They get so excited to learn a new skill and make music with their friends. My students get especially excited about learning to play the ukulele, but we simply don't have enough for everyone due to increased class sizes.

Learning is a hands-on experience, and I want to maximize that experience by making sure that every student has a ukulele to play.

My students will not only learn to play a new instrument, but they will learn about other cultures through performing cultural music. Please help to give my students this important glimpse into world cultures through music.
