Music, a Gift for a Lifetime!

Funded Nov 1, 2020

It is with deep gratitude thank you for being generous in donating financially so the Scranton Music Department could purchase the Orff instruments. For small rural schools, it can be a challenge to purchase and own such instruments. With the addition of the Orff instruments, music classes now play ostinatos to songs we are learning. A few students have learned to play simple melodies. These Orff instruments encompass K-8 age students.

Upon opening the boxes, the students were excited and ready to experiment with the Orff instruments. This opened a lesson within itself about Orff and percussion instruments. I hope in the future we will be able to purchase additional Orff instruments to enhance our music program.

The music program is planning on utilizing the Orff instruments in concerts for the families of students and the community. On behalf of the Scranton Music Department again I say thank you. Music is truly a gift for a lifetime.”

With gratitude,
