Starting the Year Off Right!
Funded Oct 10, 2022My students have been able to work on practicing proper posture with the stools and shoulder rests we received. The violins and violas have been able to see the difference having a good shoulder rest makes in their playing. It helps them get their left hand playing position in the proper spot. Their posture has improved so much, and it has also helped with their playing and their attitude. The stools for the basses have also helped the basses with their posture. It helps to have matching stools for all of the basses. Thank you so much!”

Funded Apr 27, 2022Thank you so much for helping us reach our goal of getting shoulder rests. They have been back ordered, so we haven't gotten all of them yet, but the ones we have gotten are making a huge difference as we have started the new school year.
My students were excited to have a should rest and learn how to properly hold their instrument. It's important that they teach their muscles the correct way to hold their instrument from the beginning.
We also appreciate the new tuners. The 7th graders have started learning how to tune their instruments by themselves and its nice to have more tuners on hand for them to learn this skill.”

Can You Hear Me Now?
Funded Dec 22, 2021Thank you so much for donating to our project. Due to some supply chain issues, we didn't get to purchase what we originally planned. We ended up purchasing some lights to add to the set and make things look amazing. The pop of color adds so much to the set.
With the show opening soon, we have started putting everything together. The students were so amazed with how cool the lights looked when we used them on the set for the first time. Not only have we had some problems with out sound system, a lot of the lights have gone out and not been replaced, so adding some more lights, adds to the quality of the production as well.
Our show opens next week, and we are so excited to be able to perform live again after having to pause live performances the last few years. They are so excited to be able to perform again, and are going to feel more confident with having the proper resources to be able to help perform the best they can.”
