Having reliable tuners available means students can quickly tune independently instead of waiting for help, which keeps rehearsal time focused on actual music-making. It also helps reinforce ear training, pitch awareness, and personal responsibility. These skills directly support broader music literacy. Fresh strings have improved instrument sound and playability, which makes practice more rewarding and reduces frustration for beginning players.\r\n\r\nStudents have been especially excited about having quality equipment that feels \"real\" and professional. When guitars stay in tune and sound good, students are much more confident performing for each other and taking musical risks. I've also noticed several quieter or more hesitant students engaging more fully because the instruments respond better and are easier to play.\r\n\r\nIn a rural program like ours, many students don't always have access to well-maintained instruments at home, so these resources level the playing field. The tuners and strings aren't just supplies, they've helped build independence, pride in musicianship, and a stronger sense of community in the guitar class. Your support has directly helped students sound better, feel more confident, and stay motivated to keep making music.","fullyFundedDate":1764781533289,"projectUrl":"project/every-student-deserves-a-tuned-guitar/9731535/","projectTitle":"Every Student Deserves a Tuned Guitar","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Brown","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10270153_orig.jpg?crop=810,810,x412,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1758640692435","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10270153"},{"teacherId":6314874,"projectId":9211461,"letterContent":"It is with sincere appreciation that I am writing this note to you.

You generous donations helped several families that are currently undergoing a difficult time due to lack of employment as well as some newer families that just recently relocated to our district. Students felt comfortable telling some of the adults in the building abut their needs for food, and with confidential communication, we were able to help students so they could perform their best in school.
