Mr. Arnold from Layton UT is requesting musical instruments through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Practice (mutes) Make Perfect

Help me give my students these practice mutes to provide a dampened sound when practicing the trombone or trumpet. They also provide resistance to blow through, requiring more air to produce sound.

My Project

These practice mutes provide a dampened sound when practicing the trombone. Additionally, they also will provide resistance to blow through, requiring more air to produce sound.

These two benefits help to create a better trombone player.

By allowing them to practice quietly at home they are able to practice in any living space. More air is always a good thing when playing a musical instrument. The resistance from these mutes force the player to push more air through their horn. Once removed players will be using more air producing a better sound.

Mr. Arnold will only receive his materials if this project is fully funded by July 10.
