My Project

Over the years, some equipment in our band room has become damaged, and these new supplies will allow me to replace them. These new clarinet accessories will allow me to bring more clarinets back into commission, which have been previously unusable due to not having a mouthpiece. With these supplies, I will accommodate more students in my classroom who need to use school-owned instruments. These supplies I am requesting are of a great quality and will allow the students who use them to achieve beautiful, characteristic sounds on the clarinets they will play.

By having more clarinet supplies, more of my beginning band students will have access to instruments, which will allow me to cater to more students' musical endeavors.

Music is proven to be beneficial in many aspects of the lives of students. Being able to offer these new instrument supplies to students and give them the chance to be involved in music at school is, to me, of the highest priority!
