My Project

Please help be a hero to our students with a gift towards the tools of playing guitars and drums in my music classroom! Making instruments available to students - and teaching students how to care for these instruments - can help them express creativity through making music.

Help students learn deeper lessons about how instruments are tuned and cared for through these tools.

Learning about tuning guitars, changing strings, and adjusting drum sets will engage and excite students in music class.

Thank you for considering a gift toward enhancing music playing at our school!

Ms. Castine PS/IS 104 the Fort Hamilton School Grades 6-8
