My Students

Our students love music. Music gives them an overall vitality and enthusiasm for life and provides them with a deep sense of accomplishment and self-worth. They learn to work cooperatively with their peers, focus on instruction and most of all, experience the joy of making music.

Our school is located in a low-income urban neighborhood.

The school is an important part of the community and families depend on us for a high quality, well-rounded education for their children. We want to give our students the chance to study music.

My Project

We need 3 Acoustic Guitars so students can enroll in music classes. The study of music represents life-long learning for students. Students who study music learn the joy of music first-hand through concert performance and they learn to work cooperatively with their peers. They also learn to focus and take direction, problem-solve and develop good study habits. Students derive great personal satisfaction from the study of music by opening up their creative abilities.

Your donation will have an impact on how students view the music program, how much they practice and how they feel about themselves.

Students take better care of instruments when they know it is their “own” to use. They feel special knowing there are people out their who care!
