Dear Teacher,
The National Instrument Fund is officially open!
Thanks to the generous support of Sweetwater, Music Will is excited to once again provide public school educators with access to classroom instrument donations. Last year, the National Instrument Fund put instruments directly into the hands of students and educators in communities nationwide. We’re thrilled to build on that impact this year and continue helping teachers create vibrant, well-equipped music classrooms.
How to qualify & apply:
- Eligibility: Open to public educators, including district and charter school educators, in all 50 states and Washington, D.C., who have completed a Modern Band 101 workshop with Music Will. If you haven’t attended one yet, check out our upcoming training opportunities to become eligible.
- Instrument Donation: Selected educators will receive instrument credits to help meet the needs of their classroom.
