  • Reed-ily Ready to Play: Supporting Our Saxophonists!

    Funded Mar 30, 2025

    Thank you so much for your generous donations! My students are going to love the new saxophone reeds! With these reeds, they will be able to practice and perform with better sound quality, which will enhance their overall learning experience in music. This project will help them develop their skills and deepen their love for playing the saxophone. Instead of using old or worn-out reeds, they will now have the tools they need to succeed. I can’t wait to see their excitement as they play with their new reeds—thanks to all of you! Again, thank you!”

    With gratitude,

  • Orff Orff! Help Our Students ‘Seal’ Their Musical Future!

    Funded Sep 11, 2024

    Thank you so much for your generous support of the "Orff Orff! Help Our Students 'Seal' Their Musical Future!" project. With your help, we've been able to bring xylophones, glockenspiels, and metallophones into our classroom, and the impact has been incredible.

    When the students first saw the new instruments, their excitement was contagious. They immediately jumped into playing and experimenting with the sounds. It's been amazing to watch them get so engaged with the music, learning rhythms, playing in small groups, and even performing together as a class. These instruments have made the Orff approach come to life in a way that's not only fun but also builds important skills like teamwork and confidence. Seeing them so eager to explore and share their music has been one of the most rewarding parts of this experience.

    Next, we're working on putting together a small performance where the students will play together as an ensemble. It's a great way for them to put everything they've learned into practice and have fun doing it. Your support has given them the tools they need to grow as musicians, and I can't wait to see where this journey takes them next.”
