Practice is a key component for the development of a musician. Students are exposed to music in all facets of their lives, but don't have access to develop their interest outside of the classroom. This project's goal is to supply the school with more instruments, so that students can bring them home and practice. Doing so will alleviate the need for families to purchase instruments, especially when so many are currently struggling. Developing good practice habits early sets students on the correct path to a successful career as future professional musicians and music educators.
