My Project

Within my classroom, there can be from 30 to 40 students at one time, which can cause many germs to be spread if proper cleanliness is not employed. In order to keep the instruments, classroom surfaces and practice rooms/vocal studios clean and the musicians germ free, we will need boxes of tissues, bottles of hand sanitizer, and other cleaning supplies. Sickness spreads quickly in the music room due to singing and sharing instruments, so this project is aimed at reducing the illnesses caused by germs in our ensembles.

Being an artist requires a healthy body, soul, and mind.

Please help our students have a safe and clean environment to create music. Illness is currently our #1 barrier from fully participating in the making of music. Hand sanitizer will keep pianos clean, tissues will keep nasal passages clear, and the other cleaning supplies will tackles the germs that have already escaped the hand sanitizer and tissues!
