My Students

Our orchestras are curious, passionate, and kind to one another. Our orchestra numbers are growing and the biggest challenge right now is being able to provide students who must rent from the school with the necessary supplies.

My students are curious, passionate, and kind to one another.

We are dedicated to musical success, but also focus on the benefits that music has upon building our character. "The fact that children can make beautiful music is less significant than the fact that music can make beautiful children.” - Cheryl Lavender We give back to our local community through interactive performances at elementary schools and can be found playing "Happy Birthday" for our school's staff.

My Project

We will use the instruments and supplies that we receive daily in order to develop our talent as musicians. Students will perform throughout the year using the supplies and learn to become more confident in their capabilities. New supplies will provide an instrument for more students and improve instrument posture.

By donating to this cause you will provide students with the opportunity to play a violin, viola, cello, or bass.

My students and my school are passionate about music. Our music program is growing, so we do not have enough instruments to rent to those who can not rent from a store or buy their own instruments. Your donation presents that opportunity.
