My Project
Imagine walking into a classroom that sings before the music even starts—where colorful instruments line the shelves, posters bring music concepts to life, and every corner sparks creativity and joy. That’s the dream for our elementary music room!
This project will help turn our space into a vibrant, hands-on environment where students can explore, play, and learn through music.
With your support, we’ll bring in essential instruments, engaging decorations, and interactive tools that make learning music exciting and meaningful. Together, we can create a classroom where every child feels inspired to discover their musical voice.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
