My Students

Our students are some of the most caring, tenacious and hard-working individuals you will ever meet. Their drive and love of education is something that is so enjoyable to interact with on a daily basis. One of the joys of working with our students is how much they enjoy music and want to develop skills of playing musical instruments to help them develop other academic skills. By supporting our students, not only are you supporting them in the present, but for years and perhaps generations to come.

My Project

As our program is growing and we are focused on making sure all students have individualized attention, we are in need of tuners to help our students to be individually in tune as well as our full ensembles. With these tuners, we can help students to be more successful in their musical studies as well as becoming more proficient in their studies of their instrument and basic instrumental technique.

We are growing extremely fast, and we need your support to help get the materials necessary in order for our students to be successful in their musical opportunities.

With these tools, our students can do so much more than just learn notes on the page. They can really get to experience playing as well rounded musicians and understand their music in more meaningful ways.
