My Project

My students love to make music in band class. Almost all of my students borrow instruments from the school. I have two trumpets and two flutes that need some routine maintenance. I need to make sure that I have instruments in playable condition for the best possible learning experience.

A trumpet with sticky valves isn’t going to make for a successful learning experience.

I have two trumpets in my band inventory that haven't been used for a few years. The valves are sticky and need to be cleaned out. The repairs I am requesting will make these instruments playable for my students. I also have two flutes in need of a few adjustments in order to play properly. With your help, our trumpets and flutes will be in "tip-top" condition.
