Trumpet Mutes for a Great Band Sound

My students need 8 trumpet mutes used in jazz band or concert band. Some music calls for the mutes, and this will bring the whole band's sound to the next level.

My Students

A band is as good as the students who play in it, and the equipment they have. We are lucky to have great students - we just need more equipment to take our sound to the next level.

My students are hard-working and determined to get the most out of their education.

They love music, and many tell me that band or jazz band class is the highlight of their day. Many of my students cannot afford their own instrument, let alone accessories that are required. My school provides many instruments as a free rental to students who qualify for free or reduced lunch. About 40% of our students are able to play music due to this free rental.

My Project

Imagine a group of trumpet players who can change their sound when required, which totally changes the entire sound of the band. These mutes will make the entire group sound even more impressive. We compete at the local and state level, and these mutes will allow us to be more competitive now and in the future.

Students who are excited to play their instruments will practice more and be more dedicated to the band.

These mutes will inspire students to work harder and be more proud of their sound.
