My Project

Our students do not just learn music—they live it. From jazz band to rock band, from middle schoolers finding their rhythm to high schoolers shredding their solos, our music program gives students in grades 6-12 the chance to create, perform, and grow as musicians.

Help our kids with some basic necessities for percussion, and for organizing, protecting, and carrying our equipment around the school, and beyond!

Whether it is Black History Month, the Pride Month Showcase, AAPI Heritage Celebration, the Garden Summer Equinox performance, fundraisers, or, of course, our annual school musical, live music helps bring our community together and make these events come alive.

What makes our students special is their relentless enthusiasm, their love of performing, and their commitment to one another as artists and teammates. We believe that when students feel proud of their instruments, they play with more confidence, more heart, and more joy.

With your help, we can give them the tools they need to keep the beat going strong and share it with our entire school.
