Help me give my students a violin and a cello for orchestra class.

  • This project is not currently eligible for funding.
  • $1,003 goal

My Project

I am requesting one full sized violin and one full sized cello since our Orchestra Program is growing every school year. With the addition of a middle school, expanding our inventory of instruments will help allow for students that are not able to afford their own personal instrument, to still learn a musical instrument in their secondary musical studies.

My goals for this project is grow the orchestra program at our Academy.

My goal for the students is to develop their passion and love for music even if they choose to not continue the instrument after high school.

What makes my students special is that in our orchestra ensemble, the ensemble consists of students of varying levels. The varying levels of experience allows for the students to provide peer learning/teaching at their own pace.
