My Project

Music resources directly impact our students’ ability to engage with music education in a structured and effective way. I would greatly appreciate your consideration of this request and any donation or support you can provide with this project.

As I strive to provide a quality music education to each and every student at my school, this requires additional resources and funding in order to support their learning experience.

I am writing to request funding for essential equipment that will enhance our elementary music program. Specifically, I am seeking funding for new soprano recorders, music file folders for chorus and recorder music, and two new bookshelves that will hold and organize music and instruments in our music room.

Our current supply of recorders is limited and aging, making it difficult to provide each student with a functional instrument for practice and perform. New recorders will allow all students to participate fully in lessons. Proper storage and organization of sheet music is crucial for efficient learning and long-term preservation, so additional folders will help to keep materials organized and accessible.

Our growing collection of music books and instructional materials requires proper shelving in order to ensure that they are well-maintained and easily available and accessible for students and teachers.

I greatly appreciate your consideration of this request and any donation amount that you are able to give.

Thank you for your time and generosity! Have a wonderful, musical day!
