Beaverton Band Together is expanding musical opportunities for students in all Beaverton public schools. From musical instruments to music books and mentors and more, Beaverton Band Together supports hands-on music education that will boost our students’ creativity and lead them on the path to success.

Music is a core subject that provides opportunities for expression and a creative space to build problem-solving skills. With STEAM-focused curriculum, the arts are recognized as a pathway to increased overall academic achievement, creativity, and positive self-worth during school and beyond.

Your donations will enable our students to have access to instruments and curriculum that increase their participation and maximize interactive music education.  

Donations both large and small make a difference. For example, a donation of $80 will enable a student to participate in band for a year, paying for instrument cleaning, repairs, and consumables such as reeds and valve oil. 

Instrument Donations

We also welcome donations of instruments. Have an instrument in your closet that no longer gets played? Consider giving it a second life, enabling a student to learn to play, and receive a tax donation.  Download the donation form for instructions on where you can drop off the instrument.

Recent Impact of Band Together : 

BEF’s awards repaired and purchased more than 1,500 instruments in middle and high schools so far. They’ve facilitated bringing music mentors to ten schools, giving unprecedented access to leading local artists and helping students refine their musical knowledge and abilities. During remote learning, many elementary students received recorders, xylophones, and kazoos so they could practice reading and composing music, singing, rhythm, and pitch-matching skills from home. And other schools now have a class set of ukuleles, one of the few instruments that allow students to sing and accompany themselves at the same time
