Instrument donations

ETM-Bay Area is always looking for instruments, of all kinds, in all conditions, to use in our programs. Band instruments and guitars provide an opportunity for another child to play in our small group ensembles held in addition to weekly music classes, while drums, stringed instruments, xylophones, chimes, and classroom percussion instruments can be used in all of our classes. Even instruments that are past their prime can help a child to see how an instrument is constructed and provide a valuable science connection in our curriculum. To find out more about donating an instrument, or to organize an instrument drive, please contact info@etmbayarea.org, attn: Instrument Drive. 

Instruments we are currently seeking include:

Trumpets
Clarinets
Flutes
Guitars
Xylophones
Drums/Percussion instruments/Bells / chimes

Music Stands
Projectors
Laptops
