Posture Perfect Piano Benches
Funded Aug 24, 2024After setting up the new piano benches, one of our students entered the room and remarked, "Wow! This looks so professional...like someone really cares about us." This was just the beginning of our piano lab journey.
We have observed a significant shift in student attitudes towards practice and class participation. Complaints about the 80-minute sessions have diminished, and many students are now voluntarily coming in before and after school, as well as during lunch, to enhance their skills. Additionally, numerous scholars are engaging in duet practice, and they appreciate that the benches are spacious enough to comfortably accommodate two musicians.
Given that our classroom is also used for choir, we faced challenges with limited storage space. The new benches provide a practical solution, allowing students to neatly store their music and workbooks, making them easily accessible for each class.
While the piano lab was initially designed for students, we have noticed that adults in our school community are also seizing the opportunity to learn or revisit piano skills from their past.
We are incredibly grateful for the generous donations that enabled us to purchase the Posture Perfect Piano Benches. Our students feel valued and supported, and the positive impact of your contributions is already evident. Thank you for believing in us!”
With gratitude,
