    Students with new instruments Goddard Q202 Queens NY
    Robert H. Goddard Middle School students in Queens NY excited to play new instruments.

    “I have 150 students in my band program, and only 3 of them have their own instruments. Most of our families can’t afford to buy an instrument, because 93% of our school is economically disadvantaged. This donation helped so many of my students be able to be in the band and play an instrument that is in great condition. They were so excited to play the new instruments.” Heather Slater, Band Director, Wright Middle School, Nashville TN

    Bedichek Middle School students surprised with instrument donation at SXSW in Austin TX.

    “Music can be a powerful force of positivity and change in a child’s life – it teaches our students to be expressive, creative, disciplined, and to work as a team towards something truly meaningful. I firmly believe this is an opportunity that every child deserves, and with your organization’s help, we will be able to make that vision possible.” Zach Weber, Orchestra Director, Bobby Shaw Middle School, Pasadena TX
