My Project

It's time to update some more classroom instruments in our school's music room! These new instruments will give students a fun (and safe) opportunity to experience music class and perform on different types of instruments. The goal of this project is to get instruments into the hands of every student in a safe and educational way so they can enjoy making music with each other as a class! These students enjoy playing instruments and deserve to have instruments that are safe for their use and don't have to be played "carefully" because they are old.
