My Project

It's time for the students to get upgraded instruments! The keys on our xylophones have been falling off for a couple years. Students can still write their own songs, but it's hard when notes are missing from the instrument!

Instead of using broken instruments, these students deserve a true musical experience that can enhance their enjoyment of music class!

Students deserve to have every music note available to them for them to play. These students are so creative and willing to learn about music, and I want to give them the opportunity to create music on new instruments this year.

Please donate to fund a new xylophone for the music room at Rutherford! $50 will purchase one new xylophone for our music room!
