My Project

Our Rutherford Orchestra members have been excited to learn their new instruments this year! They've perfected the basics, but now it's time to go next-level in their playing. Our young musicians have just begun using the bow to make an even bigger and beautiful string sound.

To make top quality music, our students need bow rosin and proper shoulder rests to support their instrument!

My goal is to provide each artist with these two necessary supplies. Our talented, young musicians deserve the opportunity to learn and express themselves in music!
