For my jazz saxophonists to have the best characteristic sound, they need quality reeds that are designed specifically for use in the jazz band setting. These reeds work perfectly with the new saxophone mouthpieces that we received about a month ago from Boston Sax Shop.\r\nSaxophone reeds cost about $50 a box on average, which is pretty steep for most high school students. Now all of my students will have access to these resources regardless of financial situation. Much appreciated! We will use these reeds as we prepare an audition for the Charles Mingus Jazz Festival in New York City in February 2027.","fullyFundedDate":1793453590654,"projectUrl":"project/jazz-saxophone-reeds-for-alto-tenor-an/10679340/","projectTitle":"Jazz Saxophone Reeds for Alto, Tenor, and Bari Sax!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Lubken","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4501836_orig.jpg?crop=481,481,x0,y80&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1758237677791","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mr-lubken"},{"teacherId":4501836,"projectId":10536989,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting this project.

They no longer complained about being in pain. They could make the chord shapes quickly and correctly. Once they saw positive results from their practice, they continued to try more.
