Supplies for Instrument Maintenance

Help me give my students education on how to complete basic instrument maintenance at home!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Shinagawa's classroom raised $781

This project is fully funded

My Project

In order to ensure that the instruments we provide students can be reused for generations to come, they need to undergo regular maintenance.

Unfortunately, the only woodwind/brand repair technician on our island has recently retired, leaving us with no choice but to complete these basic repairs on our own.

With your donation we will be able to get the supplies, such as a repair kit, working station and soldering iron station that we need to start completing minor repairs in-house. This will save money for the school, allowing us to reserve funds for other needs such as curriculum-related material and supplies, and I can even use the tools to show the older students how to complete their own basic maintenance, adding to their skills as musicians.
