Give the Gift of Music to Under-Served Students

Project Report | Jan 20, 2015
On the right track

By Felice Mancini | President and CEO

"I have never seen my students so excited about music. The instruments have given new life to our band program! Because of your donation, new students can join our instrumental ensembles and our current students can now play on quality instruments.

It is cliché, but at my school, music truly saves lives by providing students with an opportunity for success and a positive activity to pursue in and outside of school. Your donation will put several students on the right track in life- something for which I will be forever grateful."

Sarah H. Fischer, Columbus North International School, Columbus OH

Sarah is just one of many teachers who saw the delight on her student's faces when receiving new instruments this school year - instruments that you helped to provide. Spring concerts will sound so much better now that kids will play on great instruments. Their confidence will soar as will their love of playing music in school. Thank you for giving them this opportunity.

We awarded 89 schools this school year and we have just opened up our new grant cycle! It is our goal to put hundreds of instruments into 90 deserving schools where thousands of kids will benefit. We couldn’t do it without you and we’re very grateful. Visit our Facebook page to read some great stories from grateful students, teachers, parents and donors. On their behalf, we thank you!
