“Feedback from the music teacher and students demonstrates that the grant funded violins have instilled a new excitement for music. There was hype built up prior to receiving the violins, so when the instruments were finally placed in students’ hands, it was with great fanfare. The music teacher expressed this by stating, “the new violins have given students a greater sense of pride. This can be seen by the smiles on their faces when they handle the instrument and the admiration for the beautiful, oblong cases the instruments came in. […] Our gratitude is best expressed by one of our students who shared her appreciation, “[thank you] for my new violin! It’s so pretty and it is in great condition and I’m really grateful!””
