Supporting Teachers, Empowering Students
This year’s donation of music equipment and supplies will be distributed across multiple AESD school sites, enhancing classroom instruction and expanding hands-on learning opportunities. By equipping teachers with high-quality stands, racks, and other On-Stage essentials, The Music People is helping educators create vibrant, engaging music environments where students can explore, create, and perform.

The district emphasized the impact of this year’s donation, noting that these resources will strengthen instruction, support creativity and collaboration, and ensure students have the tools they need to grow as musicians and learners.
