  • In Need of Violin Strings!

    Funded Feb 26, 2020

    I want to thank you very much for taking the time to Donate to our project. The music program at our school has had it's share of ups and downs, and this special donation has given them the drive to practice more at home. Thank you for that help.

    In our area it is very difficult to get quality supplies into the hands of our students. They have just as much talent as the students in more affluent areas, but can't really compete because of the deficit in equipment. The donation has made a huge impact in their performance. It also have been a big motivator for their personal practice. Since getting the strings and rosin, my students are working harder than ever.

    Thank you so very much for your contribution. Your efforts are helping music stay alive.”

I am a middle school music teacher in an inner-city school and I teach students from 6th to 8th grade. Most of my students come from a low socio-economic background in an area infected with gangs and drugs. Many of my students, most poor, tell me that music is the reason they stay in school.
