  Funded Mar 14, 2025

  I want to extend our heartfelt gratitude for your generous donation of the crash cymbal stand. Your thoughtful contribution has made an incredible impact on our students, and I am delighted to share with you just how much it means to us.

  This new cymbal stand is already being used to enhance our students' musical experiences, giving them the opportunity to develop their skills in percussion with professional-grade instrument. For many of our young musicians, the chance to work with quality equipment like this allows them to build confidence and enjoy their practice and performances even more.

• Ukuleles for Us!

  Funded Dec 16, 2024

  I wish to express my deepest gratitude for the generous donation of ukuleles to our elementary music classroom. The impact these instruments have already had on our students is truly remarkable.

  From the moment the students saw the ukuleles, their excitement was palpable. As we unpacked the bags, their curiosity grew, and when they realized what was inside, their reactions were unforgettable—cheering, clapping, and an overwhelming sense of joy filled the room. These ukuleles have sparked a new level of enthusiasm and engagement in our music program, one that will last long into the future.

  The introduction of the ukuleles to our curriculum is an exciting step toward helping our students develop a deeper understanding of music. Through these instruments, we will explore fundamental concepts such as fretted instruments, chord structures, and chord progressions. These essential skills will form the foundation for their musical growth and open the door to a greater appreciation for music theory and performance.

  In addition to the educational value, the ukuleles have fostered a sense of community and collaboration in our classroom. As students learn to play, they are also learning to work together, listen to one another, and share in the joy of making music as a group. This experience is fostering teamwork, patience, and perseverance, qualities that will serve them well both in and outside of the classroom.

  We are truly grateful for the opportunity to integrate ukuleles into our program. The joy these instruments have brought to our students cannot be overstated. Thank you again for your incredible support, and we look forward to sharing the continued progress and success of our students in the coming months.”
