Items to Help our Orchestra Classes Run Smoother
Funded Nov 18, 2014My students were very thankful for the materials provided by you. They were excited that someone come along and donated to a cause that benefited their learning.
The travel repair kit is an essential item for an instrumental program such as mine. We are always in need to last minute repairs right before a concert. This kit allows me to repair wind instruments and get them back in action to the students without having to send the instruments into a repair shop. Getting the instruments back into the students' hands also means that they do not miss out on valuable practice time.
The metronome provided allowed us to be consciously aware of our tempo as we play. Beginning students are often unaware of the speeding tempo as they play. Having an audio cue as they practice helped the students play more in tempo.”

Instrumental Music Program in Need of Support!
Funded Feb 1, 2012Thank you all for your contributions! My students and I were very surprised at the rate in which our project was fully funded. We are truly fortunate to have art supports like you and wish that you continue your support for the arts. Now that we have received the flutes our class can finally move more or less at the same pace. The four flute students now have their own instrument to take home and practice, so I expect that they will be able to catch up to the rest of the class by the month of May. This will insure that we have an excellent performance for our spring concert in May. ”

Sharing With The World: One Song At A Time
Funded Apr 1, 2010Thank you very much for your contributions! Your donations made sure that we were able to complete our music video project. We had a fun time completing out project. By putting our performances on video it allowed us to share it with our staff, parents, community members, and other non-chorus members.
With the purchased equipments, we were able to film on a professional level, especially with our sound. Due to safety concerns for the students, I was unable to obtain permission from my principals to place the video clip online. However all the participants were given a copy of the DVD so they may share it with their peers.
Thank you again for your donations and time you've spent on this project. I was able to extract a few shots from the video project, "We Go Together" from the movie Grease. I hope you'll enjoy them”
