My Project

Participation in music classes has been shown to improve the social, emotional, and mental health of students at all levels. These items provide materials for students who are unable to financially provide them for themselves, so they can focus on making music!

Our students perform several times throughout the year with audiences that include their parents, Middletown parade-goers, and families of music students in grades 4-12.

We are always in need of basic materials to keep our students, and their instruments, in working order. Reeds and pencils are in constant use. The triangles will help all 16 of my percussionists participate on an appropriate instrument. Water bottles will keep them hydrated during their very first marching band performance at the Middletown Memorial Day Parade.
