Because of your kindness, we now have instruments that have truly transformed our music-making and opened new doors for creativity.\r\n\r\nSince receiving the pianos, my students and I have been using them to learn scales, chords, and melodies, and to accompany each other as we sing. One special moment I'll never forget was the very first time they all played together—when the music filled the room, their faces lit up with surprise and pride. For many of them, this was the first time they had ever sat at a piano, and the excitement was contagious.\r\n\r\nThe students' initial reaction was pure joy—there were smiles, laughter, and even applause for each other as they began experimenting with the keys. Several immediately asked if they could spend extra time practicing, which shows just how inspiring these instruments have been.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, our next project is learning to play simple songs as a class ensemble, layering melodies and harmonies to create full arrangements. We'll be focusing on proper technique, hand coordination, and eventually building towards a performance where students can showcase their new skills. Your donation has given us not only instruments, but also a pathway to teamwork, creativity, and confidence.\r\n\r\nThank you again for believing in our students and giving them this opportunity. Your generosity has made a lasting impact, and we are so excited to continue this musical journey.","fullyFundedDate":1732224863927,"projectUrl":"project/pianos-for-protgs/8549859/","projectTitle":"Pianos for Protégés","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Money","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8923385_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1732228084295","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8923385"},{"teacherId":3352692,"projectId":9057766,"letterContent":"Thanks so much for all of the resources.
