Students are using the new bows, strings, rosin, shoulder rests, rock stops, and instrument cases every single day, and these tools have completely changed what they are able to do musically. One especially exciting moment came when our beginner students transitioned from plucking the strings to playing with bows. For many, this was the first time they had ever produced a true orchestral sound, and the sense of pride and excitement in the room was unforgettable. With reliable equipment in their hands, students can now focus on learning proper technique, tone, and ensemble skills.\r\n\r\nStudents' reactions when they first saw the materials were full of excitement and curiosity. Many immediately noticed how much more comfortable their instruments felt with shoulder rests and rock stops, and how much better they sounded with new strings and bows. Several students commented that playing felt easier and more \"official,\" which boosted their confidence and motivation. Having instrument cases that close securely has also helped students take greater ownership of caring for their instruments, reinforcing responsibility and pride in their work.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, our students are now moving forward with a unit focused on bow control, tone production, and ensemble balance as they prepare concert repertoire. These materials allow us to teach at a deeper level and help students sound like a true orchestra rather than a group struggling with limited resources. Your contribution has given our students more than supplies; it has given them confidence, momentum, and the feeling that their music matters. Thank you for helping make that possible.","fullyFundedDate":1760693790985,"projectUrl":"project/repair-restore-inspire/9671201/","projectTitle":"Repair, Restore, Inspire","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Lumm","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10235912"},{"teacherId":5252245,"projectId":9541731,"letterContent":"Thank you for your support in creating a calming corner for my dance students.

Students are also loving the coziness of the bean bag and the rug to help them feel secure and regroup when they fail. I can't wait to see how strong these students become just because they have a safe space to regroup and rethink before letting their actions get them in trouble.","fullyFundedDate":1755025884734,"projectUrl":"project/calming-corner/9541731/","projectTitle":"Calming Corner","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Cruz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5252245_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y504&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754420104541","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-amanda-cruz"},{"teacherId":9486041,"projectId":8255826,"letterContent":"Thank you sincerely for your generous sewing machine donation to Legacy Middle School's theater class.
