Do you know how to play an instrument? If you do, you know it takes all kinds of brain processes happening simultaneously for things to sound good. We are the students in grades 1 through 8 and we are raising the funds to purchase a new digital piano for our Piano lab. We love music and we love learning how to play piano. It gives us inspiration, confidence and a positive way to express ourselves. For many of us, music class is what gets us through the day. In our school, not many students can afford to have an instrument at home, so our practice time in class is the only time we get to practice what we love doing. We use instruments every day and after 30+ years, they are aged and not functioning properly (loud keys, dead keys, broken pedals, broken headphone jacks, music rests that don't hold the music.... you name it). We now have $300 raised toward a Yamaha p105 digital piano. The cost of one instrument is $680 (through Guitar center). It's new, it's working, it's awesome! Besides having 88 keys that actually play, the new instrument offers a lot of features that will help us use advancements of modern technology: top of the line piano sound, ability to play with various instrument sounds, built-in metronome, recording, arranging and using software such as GarageBand. Help us be a true 21^st century classroom!
