My Project

My students in northern Arizona deserve to have access to instruments for music education. I plan to use the class set of ukuleles in all our elementary classes for many years. I am hoping to inspire young musicians in a school of rock camp where they can learn modern band instruments such as bass, electric, and acoustic guitar. They need quality instruments to play that are appropriate for their size to be successful. We have a MS pep band and limited space in the stands, so we need a new bass drum that is small enough for a middle school student to use for our performances.
