• Guitar + Desk = NO

  Funded Apr 7, 2025

  We are so unbelievably thankful for you generous support in providing these tables for our classroom. They arrived yesterday and we have already begun changing out classroom around. The students we so excited when they saw them!

  Now that we have tables and the desk our moving out, we are creating so much more room in the music room. We are able to set up chairs in the middle of the room for guitars and can bring out MORE keyboard from the closet. We didn't realize how much room the desks were taking up!

  Thank you so much for helping our room to look and feel more like a MUSIC classroom and not a regular core class. It has helped the atmosphere and logistics of the room.

  We appreciate your support and kindness!”

  Thank you so much for their wonderful materials. We are really looking forward to using them for more project next year and are looking forward to sharing more music with the community that they can also be a part of.

  We are grateful for these materials. We are still working on implementing them more and more each year. When we received these materials we used it for one outdoor event. We played music for all to enjoy. It was wonderful having the the tent and the table to put our speaker on.

  We have already set up opportunities for next year to be able to take the set up int into the community to share music and have our chorus help sing some karaoke to whoever comes by.

• Turn Up the Volume!

  Funded Oct 18, 2023

  Thank you so much for the wonderful speaker that has been a huge game changer for our school! We use our speaker every single school day at our school. When it is not being used for big events such as assemblies and concerts it is used daily in the classroom playing music for chorus to sing and general music to play along to.

  On Fridays it is used for dancing in the hallway. We now have a new tradition where on some Fridays a month we dance in the hallway. It has been so helpful to have this speaker and it continues to help our school daily.

  Thank you so much for access to this material. We are grateful for your help in supporting our program!”
