My Project

Our students need reeds in order to play woodwind instruments! Imagine them blasting out their favorite tunes with brand new reeds that allow their instruments to function. Without reeds they will producing pure silence, but with reeds they can play every note on their clarinet, alto sax, tenor sax, bari sax, and bass clarinet.

You can make a difference by helping them achieve their musical dreams, and by giving them the gift of music and the gift of reeds.

Reeds are what make sound possible for these instruments. Every child deserves some reeds.
