Trumpet Player Needed to Lead Us Into the Future!

My students need a new trumpet to play in our beginning band.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Pool's classroom raised $862

This project is fully funded

My Students

Buh-buh-duh-buh-buh-buh-buh! Charge!!! Or not. Our band is full of eager, hard-working, motivated students, ready to take charge and lead us into the future, but they lack the instruments to do so.

The students at our school know what it means to work hard and play hard.

Our music program is thriving but our instrument inventory is seriously out of date, falling apart, and lacking. Some students are so serious about music they refuse to give up and are sitting in my classes trying to learn how to play and read music without ANY instruments to even hold.

My Project

The beginning trumpet students need hands-on experience with an instrument. If we can acquire this instrument, more children will have the opportunity to learn how to express themselves, use creativity, employ critical thinking skills, and experience the joy that comes with playing and listening to music.

This trumpet will be part of our music program for dozens of years to come and by giving to it you will be part of a legacy of joy, education, and beautiful music.

Our school band is an integral part of our school culture and your generous donation will help carry that culture into the future with a resounding fanfare!
