Hi everyone,

My name is Alejandro Gallo, and I’m a graduating Tuba player from the Music Education program at San José State University. Music has been the center of my life for as long as I can remember—it’s not just a passion, it’s part of who I am. As I step into this next chapter, I’m filled with hope, but also a challenge I can’t overcome alone.

Throughout college, I’ve relied on school instruments to pursue my dream. But with graduation around the corner, I’ll no longer have access to a tuba—and unfortunately, I can’t afford one on my own right now. Tubas are expensive, and finances have always been a struggle. That’s why I’m reaching out with this GoFundMe: to help me purchase my very first personal tuba.

Owning my own instrument would allow me to continue growing as a musician, performing, teaching, and sharing music with others. This isn’t just about an instrument—it’s about continuing the journey I’ve dedicated my life to.

If you’re able to donate—even just a single cent—it would truly make my day. And if you’re not in a place to give, simply sharing this campaign with others would mean just as much to me.

Thank you for reading, for supporting the arts, and for believing in musicians like me.

With deep gratitude,

Alejandro Gallo
