Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Taking care of musical instruments is like taking care of a car. We bring our cars in for service, we need to do the same with our musical instruments. Trombones are suspectable to dings and bends on their sensitive slides. The smallest ding in a slide on the trombone can cost a lot of money in repairs.

My students need trombones with smooth slides in order to play their music with ease.

As you may know, trombones do not have keys to push and play, they need to use their arm, and quickly to play different pitches on their instruments.

Grades 6-8
