    Funded Sep 21, 2022

    Thank you so much for your generosity! Our children are so fortunate to have people who give like you and believe in the benefits of music education in our schools. I can not wait to get moving and singing with the equipment you helped purchase. Thank you so much for your gifts!”

    Funded Aug 16, 2022

    We did it! Thank you again for investing in music education. I am a firm believer that teaching the whole child is important and arts education is a vital part of a child’s growth. I look forward to another year of singing, playing, and creating with the musicians of tomorrow!”

  • Music Class, Orff Style

    Funded Nov 25, 2020

    I can't thank you enough for contributing to my "Music Class, Orff Style" campaign! However untraditional music has been lately, these instruments have given our children an opportunity to put their fundamental skills to use.

    The kids were so excited! They are overjoyed at the opportunity to play and experience creating with their friends. With all the uncertainty, it was great to get back to something familiar.

    Next year, I plan to round out our Orff collection and have a full set of 30. I can't wait for the students to return to class and have the opportunity to learn songs!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Samuels

  • We're Gonna Have a Funky Good Time!

    Funded Jan 24, 2020

    WE DID IT! I am so grateful for you continual support of myself and the students that I serve. I can’t wait to get singing, playing, and creating using our new Orff instrument. Many of Philadelphia’s underprivileged students do not get the exposure or experiences because of lack of funding. Today, we knocked down one more wall!”

    Thank you so much for supporting myself and my students! I am now able to provide free piano instruction to over 200 students and I couldn't be more excited to get started!

  • Music Classroom Listening Center

    Funded Dec 1, 2015

    I am so thankful for your generous donations. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your support for our most vulnerable students. Here at our school, our goal is to make sure that every child in our classroom has access to a quality education. That includes music instruction. We serve 250 children and we are so appreciative of the impact your gift will have on their academic and social success. Your generous donation will go a long way in helping me bridge the gap between literacy and music instruction. In fact, with your gift, I will be able to provide approximately 250 students with a literacy-music cross curricular experience they will never forget! Thank you! You have made a real difference in the lives of the kids I serve!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Samuels

My students are a group of urban children who are excited about music. Many come from low socioeconomic households. However, they come eager to learn and grow. We are a small school with limited resources, and our teachers run the spectrum when it comes to years of experience, however, they are extremely enthusiastic and dedicated to students' success.
