• Big Boom Rams

  Funded Dec 1, 2020

  Thank you so much for donating to my classroom. These tubes are going to be so much fun for all of my learners to use. Upon coming back to school at the very end of covid we already had students using the Bells. This is such a great thing for our classroom and I truly appreciate it and thank you for giving to our classroom. You have no idea the impact just small things that are colorful can make in a classroom. With the students going through such a rough time during covid music has been their sanctuary and you have supplied part of that joy.”

  Thank you so much for this project being funded. I cannot wait to share this with my students it is so exciting that we will be able to make music with the Latin influence that we were lacking due to instruments.

• Beats, Ukes and a Lifetime of Music With Music Citizenship

  Funded May 13, 2019

  We LOVE our ROLAND! This makes my students feel so connected to their music and knowing how their music is created. I loved seeing them watch me open up the box on back to school night, setting up on the DJ station and watching the students learn. That is what Music Citizenship is all about- bridging the gaps of music learning. The Ukulele is a wonderful addition to the classroom that is full guitars. I love being able to give students a chance to explore the different instruments and some students have gravitated towards the Ukulele.”

  Thank you so much for your donation! With your support we have supplies for the classroom that we would not have had without your help! The students LOVE the huge bass bell! It has become their favorite thing! They love the soft mallet! The students also loved the amps! The students love hearing themselves sing.

  The students look forward to music weekly and when you combine that excitement of new equipment and their drive it makes class a very exciting place to be. Again your donation to my classroom directly helps these students and makes them successful. I could not do this without you!”

• Rosin Your Bow- "Bow Hold Buddies" to the Rescue

  Funded Mar 14, 2015

  I want to thank each of you SO much for your donation. The bow hold buddies are a wonderful tool for my beginner students. This helps students kinetically and also visually where they should place their fingers on the bow. This helps produce the proper bow hold students will need to become the best players possible.

  The shoulder rest and mutes are wonderful for my older string players. They have only played with sponges as shoulder rest for years. I gave these to the older students this week and their faces lit up with joy!

  Thank you again for the lasting impact you have made to our string program.

  YOU have made a difference in a child's life!”

• Cellos, Violas and Strings- Oh My!

  Funded Feb 18, 2015

  Thank you for the wonderful donation! This cello has such a big impact on our growing orchestra. As you can see in the photographs that one of our cellos is taped up around the bridge. The other cello (not photographed) was in such disrepair it was not worthy of a photo is now no longer being used thanks to YOU!

  This cello will last for years and I can not thank you enough. The students enjoy the sound of the new cello and it is nice to be able to use it in comparison to the broken cello. The students enjoy being able to hear and see the difference in a proper cello.

  Thank you again for everything! YOU have made a lasting impact in the arts!”
