My Students

Have you ever played an out of tune guitar? Have you played a guitar with broken strings? It's not fun.

The students at our school are full of musical ability.

They attend a public school where the majority of students are on free and reduced lunch. We are located in Colorado, where music is alive and well! The students here love playing guitar, please help us maintain them.

My Project

We need some sets of guitar strings to fix guitars that are currently broken. Once we have these strings our students will be able to play on guitars that sound good. We also need tuners to tune our guitars. Right now I use one tuner that I brought from home. If we had a few more we could get the kids involved in tuning and maybe even some parent volunteers!

The students at my school are so pumped about laying guitar.

Your donation will help us keep these guitars in tip top shape for the whole year. Please consider us when choosing your donation.
