My Project

The students at the Ralph Bunche School are in need of musical instruments for the classroom. We are looking for a Yamaha Digital Keyboard and Recorders.

Having a Yamaha Keyboard in the classroom will enhance the singing experience, warm up exercises, freeze dance activities, and serve as an overall teaching tool.

Recorders are typically a students first instrument. Students will learn how to read music in the treble and bass clef and connect their understanding to the playing of the instruments.

These instruments will be vitally important to our program!
