This teacher needs your help!

We Got the Power of Music! But Need AC Cords!

Help me give my students the power to make their piano keyboards work!

My Project

We have some Yamaha piano keyboards that have lasted so well for years in our band room. But, the AC power cords have worn out and / or went missing.

Help us get powered up again!

Funding this project will make sure these 5 electronic keyboards will continue to play for years to come. It will also provide a much needed sax stand for students that double on instruments during a concert. They will have a secure place to put the sax when they move to a different instrument on the next song.
