Supporting a Growing Music Program

Help me give my students these tools (Orff instrument stand, and a conductor’s stand) to improve posture and playing technique, and help me lead more effective rehearsals. Your support will directly impact our young musicians’ confidence and performance skills.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Miller's classroom raised $568

My Project

The music program at our elementary school is thriving, and it has been wonderful to see more students in grades 3-5 experience the joy of music-making! As interest and participation increase, the need for supplies to support meaningful and organized instruction also increases.

We are asking for a keyboard stand and bench, an Orff instrument stand, and a conductor's stand to help us create a better learning environment to encourage meaningful music learning.

These supplies will support an organized classroom, a functional playing posture, and my ability to lead rehearsals effectively.

The keyboard stand and bench will enable our older students to practice proper hand position and be able to concentrate on their musicianship on piano. The Orff stand will protect our instruments (and students from injury) and enhance accessibility to Orff instruments during our performative lessons. The conductor's stand will help me model and lead more efficiently, enabling students to develop their ensemble skills as they prepare for performance.

We are grateful for your support to equip our fledgling music program to better service young musicians as they develop artistic confidence, creativity, and a passion for the arts for life.

Thank you for helping our students grow through music!
