Keys to Success

Help me give my students the piano lab experience they deserve! Last year, students had to share keyboards and were unable to get the playing time necessary to be successful. We would be so grateful for more instruments!

My Project

My students are amazing, talented, and eager to learn new things. Having a keyboard for each of them to practice on individually during our piano unit will be a game-changer for their success! When they were learning last year, they averaged about 15 minutes of practice time twice per week, which is not conducive to any serious progress on an instrument.

I am confident that creating a full-on piano lab will enable the students to accomplish their musical goals and learn to play music in a way that is meaningful to them.
