General Fund for New Instruments. $10,000
The loss of instruments from the devastating fires in Otis and other circumstances related to online learning are still being assessed. $10,000 fund for new instrument purchases as needed.
Music instrument Repairs. $2,500
Every instrument MII purchases is registered in the school Instrument Library. Students check them out and are responsible for damage and loss. As instruments circulate through the system, cleaning and repairs are provided by a retired district music teacher. Maintenance ensures quality!
Smart Music Memberships. $40 per teacher, $20 per student
Our music teachers tested this online learning environment last Spring. They were impressed with the unrivaled repertoire library and game-changing practice tools that provide the means for tracking student progress while giving immediate feedback.

$20 premium student membership (600 needed)
Expert Music Technicians. $19,500
Retired professional musicians and music students from PSU provide small group instruction online to students in instrument groups. As a critical support for on-line instruction, these music techs share technique and provide individual coaching.
$30 per hour – (650 hours $19,500 through June 2021)
Virtual Field Trip. $500-700 per field trip
Students make a virtual visit to a master musician’s studio, learn about a composer and see a work performed. Expert lessons in music theory and appreciation will be shared. Composers include Beethoven and Mozart as well as contemporary jazz composers. Imagine a visit to Mei Ting Sun at the Royal School of Music in London followed by an introduction to Beethoven and brief performance.
$500-700 per field trip - (4 trips will be scheduled)
