My Project

Our scholars are craving the ability to play musical instruments. For the past year, we have been a music program focused on developing our singing voices. The scholars are incredibly talented and have proven themselves worthy to learn new instruments in order to improve their overall musicality.

My specialty as a performer is with woodwinds (saxophones, clarinet, flute)

I would be able to pass on some of the greatest knowledge that was passed down to me by some of the greatest jazz musicians alive.

My students would be even more encouraged to continue pursuing their musical goals, and studies have proven that learning new instruments helps with scholars' academic progress as well.

With your help, we can start up the first band at our school!
