My Project

My music students are excited about writing their own original music for our songwriting classes. They are going to learn skills on the vocals, piano, guitar, bass, and drums. However, we have a few items in our classroom that either need to be replaced or purchased altogether. With your help, our students will be able to write lyrics in their lyrics journal (composition notebooks/pens), practice drum patterns for their songs (drum sticks, hi hat hardware, and snare stand) and keep their guitars and basses in good shape (guitar stands). Thank you for your generosity!
