My Project

My students are a hardworking group of musicians who have officially graduated from Hot Cross Buns and are ready to tackle the next level. Watching them grow from “What’s a quarter note?” to “Let’s play it again, but better!” is the best part of my job. They’re passionate, talented, and always keep me on my toes.

The music they play is a lot like community chest in Monopoly— it could be good, it could be bad, but it’ll always be a surprise.

With Accent on Achievement Book 2, we’ll take their surprises to the next level.

These books will help me teach them more advanced rhythms, scales, and techniques they’ll carry into future performances. With your support, my students can move beyond the basics and start making music that’s not just fun for them—but fun for the audience, too. Thank you for helping us hit the right notes! (And fewer wrong ones!)
