• Listen While You Work

  Funded Sep 11, 2024

  My students were so excited to get headphones for their pianos. We are very grateful for your generous donation! Using headphones, my students can hear clearly while practicing on their instruments! Moreover, they can explore different tones and volume levels on their keyboards and learn to adjust their volume for better practice. I am so happy that my students can enjoy making music!

  Right now, our students work on their winter performance, and each practice counts so much. With your gift, my students can focus on the quality of their future performance.”

• Classroom Printer

  Funded Nov 29, 2023

  Your generosity changed my classroom environment and increased my students's motivation. I can print colorful visuals for my students, and they are so attractive for kids. We are incredibly thankful for this generous donation!

  When the new printer was set up and we could print music sheets in colors, my students noticed the new colorful music sheets and they were so excited! The colorful worksheets engaged my students in music notation and composition; they helped my students to understand the relationships between musical sound and music notation.

  The impact that this printer has on our classroom is immense! I now can print awesome students' certificates and different color-coded worksheets. The convenience of having the printer in our room is amazing!”

• Headphones for Pianos

  Funded Jan 12, 2023

  Thank you so much for giving my students headphones. With your donation, my students can focus on their work more productively when working on their keyboards or tablets. Headphones block distractions and cancel out noises while kids work with their pianos.

  Good quality headphones offer a unique aural experience for the students. They can enjoy an immersive experience when playing their instruments. Now each student in my classroom has headphones while practicing and can enjoy music-making. It truly helps kids to learn to play their keyboards and stay focused during the class.”

• A Digital Piano for a Keyboard Lab

  Funded Nov 30, 2021

  Thanks for donating a full range piano to our music classroom! My students now have the opportunity to practice and improve their musical skills playing duets. They really enjoy making music with this big size instrument! I wish you see their smiles when two kids play together in four hands.

  I truly believe that playing a musical instrument foster student's self-expression and relieve stress. Making music help children to express with emotion, and it is very helpful for helping children with autism, depression, and other disorders.”

• Rainbow Roll-Up Pianos for Students.

  Funded Aug 12, 2021

  With your donation, my students are fortunate to use their own musical instruments in a classroom while learning to read music notation and create their first musical compositions. Along with the joy of making music, students develop important physical and social skills that will continue throughout their lives. Kids share their musical stories through improvisation, compose short call-and-response phrases on the piano, and learn to play simple songs. It teaches students to focus on their own presentation in musical production and appreciate other participants' performances.

  Rainbow piano design gives the opportunity to learn color patterns and use these wonderful keyboards along with other music color-coded instruments such as bells, boomwhakers, and xylophones. Kids love these colorful instruments and definitely enjoy making music together!

  Thank you so much for bringing this joy into my classroom!”

• Headphones for Students

  Funded Mar 25, 2021

  Thank you so much for providing my students with headphones to use in our classroom. With your donation, my students will be able to focus much better on their work while working on their keyboards or tablets. Headphones block the distractions and cancel outside noise while students are working with their equipment.

  The most exciting part for my students was the fact that they can hear better and maximize their understanding during tasks. The headphones offer a unique aural experience, because students enjoy the immersive experience that they play their instruments. Kids are more focused and not distracted with the surrounding sound. Each student wears headphones to avoid the sound around them. Wearing headphones helps create teaching experiences that are individual for each child.”

• Explore the Rhythms

  Funded Nov 18, 2019

  My students are very excited to play the percussion instruments we recently received. With your donation, our music activities are much more fun and musical. Kids play rhythms and songs they learn every music class and practice various rhythmic patterns in different genres.

  I wish you saw the students faces when they opened the boxes and tried to figure out how to use instruments such as guicharo and cajon. It was hilarious to see how kids explored every little detail of the new instruments trying to get different sounds.

  Every music class students learn to read music rhythms by tapping, shaking, or scratching these amazing instruments in my classroom. It is an excellent way for students to practice elements of music through hands-on activities. Students perform various rhythmic patterns demonstrating their creativity and musicality to others.

  Thank you so much for helping my students explore the percussion instruments and learn about music elements in a new fun way.”

• Wireless Microphones for Young Performers

  Funded Aug 14, 2019

  The microphone system helps my students feel more secure with their voices while singing. It provides them with the opportunity to practice and build confidence for their live performance. Right now, our students working on a mini-musical and there's a lot of singing and speaking parts in a play. During the rehearsals, the students can focus on the quality of their voice instead of being able to hear each other. They can explore different tones and volume levels on the sound system, and learn to adjust their voices for a better performance. I am so happy to see that my students are getting a better understanding of how to use their voices more effectively with the new technology.”
