Help me give my students violins to participate in the school's music class.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Brown's classroom raised $633
This project is fully funded
My Project
The school is allowing students to sign up for music classes to become more familiar with and to learn about the arts.
The only issue is that the music teacher only has a few instruments.
Any student that signs up can join, but won't actually be able to play an instrument due to the shortage and limited amount the school actually has.
The students benefit and enjoy from learning music, but it is a shame they don't get to practice the notes and songs on a real violin, unless they are lucky enough to get one of the few we have.
None of the students' families can purchase these instruments on their own either. It would be nice to get a few violins so that more 3rd graders can enjoy music class.
It gives them the opportunity to be a part of the band and to be a part of a larger team of students to play school-wide at the end of the year.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
