TESTIMONIALS
Dear
Bruce {donor} and Mary,
Thank you both for making it possible for us to have a piano
in our classroom. Everyone is very pleased. The kids have
immediately begun asking for the piano during free time. One
of my students, who doesn’t often show emotional expression,
absolutely loves playing on the piano. We set the sound to
pipe organ, and she gets tickled every time she "makes"
music. (It’s a great cause/effect toy.) It's great to
see her smile and laugh.
Thanks
again,
Stephen

Thank
you for your generous contribution of a five-piece drum set,
hand drums, and guitar and amp set (valued at $700) to Boys
& Girls Clubs of San Francisco. As you know, donations
of this kind go directly to support the award-winning programming
at our nine Clubhouses in San Francisco's most disadvantaged
and turbulent neighborhoods.
Every
day, the young people who use our Clubs have access to our
award-winning programs, and benefit from the guidance of our
caring staff. Every day, they are learning and growing in
a safe environment. Every day, they are closer to realizing
their full potential -- thanks to the generosity of donors
like you.
With
your help, and that of others like you, we can continue to
reach thousands of children, providing them with enriching
experiences and the promise of a better future. Thank you
again for your generosity and for your commitment to our organization.
Sincerely,
Rob Connolly
President,
Boys & Girls Clubs of San Francisco
Words
cannot express the gratitude the Terra Nova Music Department
has for your generous donation of the following instruments:
1 Cornet, 1 French Horn, 1 Alto Sax, 1 Trombone. During times
of shrinking budgets and programs that are cut back, your
kindness and generosity has helped to enhance the lives of
many students involved in our band programs at Terra Nova
High School, including concert, marching, and jazz bands.
We hope
this will be the beginning of a partnership that will include
more awareness about your program and the continued donation
of instruments to our program. The music department is very
excited about this, as we are expanding their band program
to include parades and field shows for sporting events and
band competitions.
Once again,
thank you very much for your donation.
Sincerely,
Justin Cottrell
Director of Bands

Meg-
on behalf of the students and the District, I want to thank
you and Music in Schools Today for all you have done to support
our music program. Without your help, there would still be
some middle school students in band, without an instrument.
Given an overall decline in student enrollment this school
year, the District will be consolidating schools for next
school year and assigning 7th and 8th graders to the new 7-12
secondary school. Unlike the typical complaint about categorical
dollars not following students, in this case, the musical
instruments will be following our 7th and 8th graders. Many
thanks again!

Dear Music in Schools Today,
Thank you for your very generous donation of the electric
bass and banjo to our music program. The Sinaloa Middle School
Music department makes a commitment that any student that
wants to play an instrument will be provided with one if they
are unable to provide one for themselves. Our program receives
no funding from the school district to purchase any of our
classroom supplies, such as music and instruments, and we
depend on donations in order to be ale to have a music program.
The banjo in particular will be very useful in our Dixieland
Band, an 8-person, traditional New Orleans style jazz group.
This group plays at a lot of community events throughout Marin
County, since it is a small group, and it is easy to travel
with. If you have any events that you need music for, we'd
be happy to come perform.
The bass and the banjo will be used in our program by students
who would otherwise not have an instrument to play. On behalf
of the students, thank you.
