Tune a piano and buy drum pads for JHS189!
Donation protected
Hello! My name is Ari and I am a resident teaching artist at JHS189Q in Flushing, New-York. our school is in the inaugural year of a brand new music program. We are raising money to tune our grand piano, as well as buy 40 drum pads for our students.
Myself and our primary music teacher, Ms. Cali Goldman, believe that a flourishing art program is essential in building and strengthening our student's self-esteem, sense of community, and imagination. That is why we have worked tirelessly to build a music program from the ground up, scouring for resources to teach students woodwinds, brass, percussion, choir, musical theater, music technology, and music fundamentals. Our students work really hard, and they deserve to be able to utilize resources that reflect their hard work.
Our musical theater show and choir performance are coming up, and our piano is horribly out of tune. We also have a lot of dedicated percussionists who don't have proper drum pads to hone their skills on. As a Title 1 school with over three quarters of our students coming from financially challenged backgrounds, we have no way of acquiring the funds to address these issues without relying on community support. That is why we are hoping to fundraise this money, even if we don't reach the full amount. Every little bit helps!!!!
