Our Musical Debut!
Funded Sep 28, 2023"Thank you" seems insufficient as I marvel at your kindness and generosity. It is difficult to put into words just how much of a difference you have made. The students and I are so excited to have some instruments to use in class, and I am certain that we will make wonderful memories on our musical journey this year. Thank you for believing in the importance of music education, and giving my students the gift of new experiences. You are all appreciated beyond measure.”

Keys to Success
Funded Sep 20, 2016Thank you all so much for your generous donations to my classroom project, "Keys to Success." This project enabled me to provide my contained special education classes with the opportunity to learn piano and become independent musicians. The students were thrilled to receive the materials, and could not wait to begin playing them. Even after over a month of learning, they still enter the classroom asking to use the keyboards.
It has been amazing to watch the students progress in their piano learning. We began with simple songs, such as "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star," and each student learned how to play four different Christmas carols during the holiday season. One of the best moments during this time was when a student, typically disinterested in Music class, came to me and said, "Can I learn something more challenging today?" I gave him more difficult music and he sat at the keyboard, practicing diligently for the entire class period. When he performed the song for the rest of the class at the end, his pride and sense of achievement were evident.
These instruments have made a difference in the lives of my students. I look forward to expanding to a full keyboard lab in the future. Thank you so much again for supporting music education and my students.”
