My students LOVE to play instruments! We have a set of guitars that have had the same old strings on them for years. New strings would make them sound great! These Martin Acoustic strings are just what we need to get the sound we want out of our guitar lab. With good sounding instruments, students will have more incentive to practice and work hard to improve. It will also help us meet several of our state's group performance standards for fourth and fifth grade. Learning piano is one of the best ways to further a child's music education. Through it, a student will learn how to read both the bass and treble clef, establish left/right hand independence, interpret melodies, understand harmony, improvisation, and composition. Once our keyboard lab is up and running, the sky is the limit for what we can learn. What they learn here will serve them well beyond elementary school and help them to succeed in band, choir, or orchestra, once they reach middle school and beyond. Our pianos work, but we need new power cords since the originals were lost long ago. Once we can plug in with these universal power supply cords and get started, we will be able to play and create music! No matter what brand of piano the student is using, this cable will fit the bill. Thank you for your interest in our musicians!
