My Project

I truly admire my students' passion and dedication to music. These kids continuously put in hard work, perseverance, and enthusiasm for learning and creating music. We are currently preparing for our Spring Concert, and need these supplies to get us there! The clarinet and saxophone reeds, violin strings, and trombone mouth pieces are so important in our the music program, as it is vital to have these materials for the students to play and make a sound on their instruments. The reeds, strings, and mouthpiece will be used in band lessons, full band rehearsals, and at home practice sessions by the students. In addition, the instrument cases are used to protect the instruments students use in order to keep them playable and safe. These cases would replace the broken cases that no longer work and are non-functional.

Access to these requested music resources will nurture and amplify kids innate creative and artistic abilities.

Access to quality instrument materials is crucial for students' musical development. You can help ensure that students have the tools they need to practice and perform at their best.

There are numerous benefits of music education, such as improved academic performance, enhanced cognitive skills, creativity development, and emotional well-being. Your support will directly benefit these motivated students!
