  • Tools for Perfect Practice

    Funded Aug 26, 2016

    Dear Generous Donors,

    The band students at Jefferson are off to a great start this year! Thanks to your generosity, we have been able to further refine our routines working in sectionals and have experienced tons of success because of the 12 new music stands we were blessed with! The music stands have made it possible for us to maximize our time working in groups because transitions to our practice spaces are more efficient.

    The Bluetooth speaker has been an amazing addition to our music classroom as well. What a difference it makes to have high quality sound for our listening logs and rehearsals!

    We are well on our way to putting on the best performance yet at the Jefferson Winter Arts Showcase in December!!

    Thank you from the bottom of our musical hearts!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Harris

  • Improve Our Sound By Helping Us Hear Each Other

    Funded Feb 8, 2015

    I am so grateful for your donations to this project! I am very excited to have these carpets in our rehearsal space. The carpeting has helped to absorb sound while we are rehearsing, making it easier for students to hear instructions, hear each other, and most importantly it will make the rehearsal space a better environment acoustically so that musical development is the focus. I focus on giving students daily practice with guided listening, evaluating and reflecting, and this carpet enables the whole ensemble to better hone those skills.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Harris

Students at my middle school are 99% African American and are 99% free/reduced lunch. The school was closed down 3 years ago and reopened under a new administration and teaching staff. Students are enthusiastic learners who work hard and benefit from a team of staff members that work all hours of the day and weekends to create a culture of learning and stability for students. Students have access to different arts electives including a computer design class, visual art and band. Band has an extensive history that ranges back to a thriving marching program. Right now band is the only type of music class offered to students. Students gain exposure to band for a semester per year.
