WDPR Collecting Musical Instruments

July 15, 2021 By Dayton Most Metro

Do you have a used musical instrument you no longer need? You can make it sing again in the hands of a young musician. It’s time once again for It’s Instrumental, a musical instrument drive that benefits aspiring young musicians in the Dayton region.  One of the best things we can do is inspire that next generation of music lovers,” said Shaun Yu, the president and CEO of Dayton Public Radio. “The best way to deepen that love of music is to actually make it.”

 

During the past few years, hundreds of instruments have been collected for students in area schools, and for musicians in the Q the Music program. Q the Music is a daily after-school string orchestra program that supports the musical, academic and social growth of at-promise youth in the Dayton community. Located at Ruskin Elementary, students in grades 3 through 6 receive academic tutoring; take group lessons in violin, viola and cello; and participate in string orchestra rehearsals.

All kinds of instruments are accepted, even those in need of repair, as well as accessories like carrying cases and bows. You can even get a receipt for tax purposes.

DONATE NOW UNTIL JULY 31

Drop off instruments at a local Grismer Tire & Auto Service Center.  To find a Grismer location near you, go here.

WDPR is Collecting Musical Instruments For Dayton Public School Students

June 14, 2018 By Dayton Most Metro

It’s time once again for It’s Instrumental, a musical instrument drive that benefits aspiring young musicians in the Dayton region. During the past few years, hundreds of instruments have been collected for students in area schools, and for musicians in the Q the Music program. The campaign is especially important this year as Dayton Public Schools plans to Bring Back the Bands.

Do you have a musical instrument that you no longer need? Please donate it to It’s Instrumental between June 11 and July 31. All kinds of instruments are accepted, even those in need of repair, as well as accessories like carrying cases and bows. You can drop off instruments at your nearest Grismer Tire & Auto Service Center, and even get a receipt for tax purposes (find a Grismer location).

If you don’t have an instrument to donate, you can also make a tax deductible financial contribution.
