My Project

My goal in teaching music is to empower and develop each child’s voice as they learn to express their creative self through music.

Our students need replacement cellos, strings, shoulder rests, rosin, and tuners to support their in-school and at-home learning in string orchestra!

Music education is a birthright and it is my hope to support them with these materials.

The needed materials will support students as they rehearse together. Many musicians in music class, and future music students, will use these materials for years to come! Help support my young musicians today!
