Mrs. Metzger from Indianapolis IN is requesting musical instruments through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Tune the Orchestra! - Buy Tuners for the LN Orchestras

Help me give my students tuners to allow them to become more independent with tuning and be as accurate as possible setting themselves up for success!

My Project

Having functional tuners will allow the orchestra students a chance to tune themselves for class and performances more efficiently and accurately. The clip on Snark tuners will be great for the upper strings, while the Korg tuners will be best for the low strings. The clip-on attachments for the Korg tuners will help the students pinpoint their specific instrument while the whole class is tuning.

My orchestra students will benefit from having access to these tuners everyday and help them be better, more independent musicians.

My orchestra program is small, but mighty. We are pushing for growth and having the appropriate resources will help that happen.
