Make Music Marvelous
Funded Jan 1, 2025My students were very happy to receive the items you funded for our program. We opened the materials and started using them right away. Students were excited to try new mouthpieces and cleaning supplies for their current instrument.
With the new mouthpiece try-out, my students will have a better understanding of what it would be like to have the real mouthpiece before playing the instruments itself. This will help guide them to playing real instruments in no time, and it will help future students decide if they would want to stay with the instrument or not since it will give them a chance to also make a sound on the mouthpiece alone.
We thank you so much for your support in our growing program, and we will continue to use the products you have helped fund.”

Mutes for Bucket Drumming
Funded Apr 2, 2024Thank you so much for funding our mutes for bucket drumming. We have used the mutes since the beginning of the 2024 school year, and it has helped us tremendously in teaching rhythms to our students. My students were excited to be able to use buckets and their mutes instead of clapping and stomping out rhythms.
We have managed to reorganize our curriculum in order to incorporate bucket drumming and mutes, which makes the sound more bearable in a classroom of 50 high school students. We are truly grateful for the impact you had on our program and we are hoping to gain more buckets in the future. We are now using these mutes and buckets for our more advanced performance classes so that the students could work with smaller groups using a percussion-based instrument without a real drumset needed.”

This classroom project was brought to life by LOFT.DIY Instrument Repairs
Funded Feb 25, 2023Thank you so much for your contribution to our music program. I've already began to fix a bunch of instruments, and have utilized the tools that you got for us without having to send any instruments out for minor repairs. My students are happily getting ready for a Spring Festival at our school now and they are very grateful for your generous donation. We are continuing to build our tool box for more repairs that could be done in the school building so that all students can continue to learn music on their given instruments without having to wait for countless days for an instrument to be returned. For this, we thank you again!”

Guitar Racks for a Music Class
Funded Jan 3, 2023I wanted to thank you all again for providing 2 guitar racks for the guitars in my classroom. We were all delighted to have a better storage system other than ripped up ukulele tree paddings to keep our guitars safe. The students thought it was really cool to get a better system in our instrument storage room that gave us more space to maneuver around the instruments, and to also place the guitars safely on the racks before and after class. We plan to use the guitars and guitar racks more often in our next unit of study, and we now have more guitars that still need to be placed safely, but these racks were definitely a step in the right direction and a good start to our growing program. Thank you so much again for your contributions to this program!”
