My Project

My elementary music classroom is filled with exciting instruments that students use every day to sing, play, create, and perform. As our program has grown, we've added more ukuleles and Orff instruments—but we haven't added enough storage to keep them safe, organized, and ready for learning.

Two Orff instrument stands and three ukulele racks will transform the way we use our classroom.

Instead of stacking instruments on the floor or storing them in difficult-to-reach places, students will be able to quickly access the instruments they need and return them safely when class is over. This means less time spent setting up and cleaning up, and more time making music together.

These storage solutions will serve hundreds of students year after year, allowing every child to spend more time creating music and less time waiting for instruments. Your generosity will help keep our classroom organized, protect our instruments for the long term, and ensure that every lesson begins with the joy of making music.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
