I teach beginning band to 6th-12th grade students in Bushwick, NY, where I work with a diverse group of young musicians across 9 sections of band. Our program is growing, and we're building opportunities through events like Music in the Parks, NYSSMA, and our Modern Band. Many of our students come from underserved communities where access to quality music education is limited outside of school. Your donation helps provide instruments, sheet music, and resources, empowering them to succeed in music and beyond. With your support, we can give these students the tools to build confidence, creativity, and a brighter future. Thank you for helping us grow our music program!
