Richard E Miller is a small Title 1 elementary school in the Washington School District whose band and string instruments have seemed to vanished over the years, so we are in desperate need of instruments. Just to end with a quick example, I currently have only 2 "working" clarinets, and those are held together with electrical tape. I know there is a ton of interest at the school but I just do not have the equipment to put in their hands. Any little bit will help!!Read more »

The enhusiasm for music is growing at Cactus Wren and more students want to join band or orchestra every year! But unfortunately there are not enough instruments for the amount of students signing up. Many of the eager students come from homes that cannot afford to buy or rent an instrument and when the school cannot provide one for them then the child will most likely not be able to play. By donating an instrument or funds you can bring HOPE to a child's musical dreams! Read more »

The band and orchestra program is comprised of a variety of students throughout the campus. We have maxed out all of our school rental instruments this year. The orchetsra this year has performed at the Scottsdale public library and Scottsdale Promenade, the Jazz Band is performing at the Senior Center next month, and the concert ensembles have competed throughout the state. The program is very active, but it is difficult to shut off some of the students passion to learn, because of the lack of rental instruments. Any donations that will help more student be able to explore music and achieve excellence would be greatly appreciated by not only the students, but the community we perform in.Read more »

Hello. I am a choral/orchestra teacher at a TItle I school, Coronado High School. when I began teaching here five years ago, there were 15 students in one choir, 23 students in an orchestra and one small guitar class. Now, I have two sections of guitar, a large orchestra, and three choirs.

We would really appreciate your help and are encouraged by this opportunity to ask for instruments through your program.

If you are able, your contribution would not only benefit the number of students listed, but have an overal impact of pride and gratification that someone cared enough to see to their musical needs.

Thank you.
Dr. Sammy J. BrauerRead more »
