Yamaha Corporation of America and Schmidt’s Music have donated instruments to Workman Middle School in Pensacola, Florida to replace a number of instruments that were destroyed in a fire this May.

The fire destroyed the school’s portable orchestra room on Saturday, May 13, along with  at least 21 instruments and an extensive collection of sheet music. In light of the fire, Yamaha has donated six V5 violins and a DGX 660 digital piano to the school, while Schmidt’s Music has contributed two cellos and an upright bass.

Dave Schmidt, owner of Schmidt’s Music, presented the instruments to the school’s orchestra director, Christina Clark Frierdich, at an event at the school.

“Christina has built a magnificent orchestra program at Workman Middle School, and like so many in our community, Schmidt’s Music is compelled to support the school with this instrument donation,” said Schmidt. “I am also grateful to partner with Yamaha to help get the music program up and running again without missing a beat.”

“Supporting music education is at the heart of everything we do here at Yamaha,” said Lisa MacDonald, director of marketing of the band & orchestral division, Yamaha Corporation of America. “While this fire at Workman Middle School was a tragedy, we hope this donation of musical instruments by Yamaha and Schmidt’s Music to the school’s music program helps to bring it back better than ever.”
