My students need new digital piano for our classroom! After 5 great years, our current one gave out on us. We heed a keyboard that can produce quality sounds in our classroom and performances.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Brooks's classroom raised $994

My Students
My students are some awesome scholars who come from challenging family situations such a single parent homes, high poverty, homeless, academic and emotional learning challenges, and sudden loss of a parent or family members. Despite those challenges, the scholars at my school come to a safe place to learn, have fun, and strive to become a productive member of society. However, their parents or guardians do not have the opportunity to support their child's academic or extra curriculum needs for their child to grow beyond the classroom.
My students love to sing, dance, and, most importantly, play instruments in music class and get disappointed when there is not enough instruments to go around.
At performance time, they step into the limelight ready to show off the skills they learned in class.
My Project
OMG! Having a full size digital piano in our classroom will do amazing wonder for our students! The past 5 years we have to use a keyboard for performances and in class. Although it was a great to use, it didn't give us the sound we need for our performances in our multipurpose room.
In the past the students loved exploring the keyboard and hearing me play for them (I'm a pianist) when they have a great day in class and we have a few minutes left to spare.
It also gives the opportunity of seeing the piano in action.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
