We teach 5 and 6th grade general music, 5th grade band, 6th grade band, 7 & 8th grade band, jazz band, 7 & 8th guitar, and high school band in a high-need district where a large amount of the student population is on the free and reduced lunch program.

The middle school general music program has NO materials; no music books, no instruments, nothing!! This makes learning music a more daunting task then it should be.

With more materials, the general music program will become stronger and a delight for each child enrolled. Music Ace 1 & 2 will give them a fun and exciting way to continue their education while ensuring they are leaning the fundamentals required to be successful music students.

Your help will give these students something where they have little except the will to learn and teachers trying their hardest to make it work with what we have.
