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

Since more students will be enrolling in music classes and will be signing up for cello next year, getting more quality cello bows will help to grow our program and keep it vital. Although cellists currently share instruments, each student can be assigned his or her own bow. Students take pride in knowing that they are the only one using a particular bow -- they know that it is the most important part of the instrument -- the piece that produces the sound! And when they have their own they tend to be more conscientious about practicing and taking care of it. We need good quality bows for future generations of music students.

We had a successful performance by our Orchestra this year, and more kids want to learn the cello next year!

Your donation will make a huge difference in our program by helping us to continue the good work that we are doing in our music program. As more and more students enroll in the program, we need to provide those students with quality equipment.

When students know that there are people out there who care enough to make donations to the music program, they find a new vitality and enthusiasm for what they are doing. You will help make it possible for us to accept all students who have a desire to learn the cello.
