My Project

I am a high school music director who teaches concert band, choir, pep band, jazz band, jazz improvisation, music theory, beginning guitar, advanced guitar, and pit orchestra. My students come from an economically and geographically diverse background in the rural, upcountry area of Maui, Hawaii. Most students have been in a music class since 6th grade, and some have been playing for even longer. However, many just started learning an instrument in high school.

My amazing music students deserve amazing gear!

Mouthpieces are expensive and reeds are specific to students' preference and must often be replaced. This project will allow me to offer my students individualized mouthpiece and reed choices, instead of just a standard style for everyone. I want to make sure that every student has what s/he needs to perform with confidence.

Thank you for helping me make sure my students have the materials they need to continue to succeed!
