Do you have a portable keyboard at home that is not being used? Not sure what to do with it?
The NAC’s Music Alive Program in Nunavut is interested in acquiring used portable keyboards to donate to Peter Pitseolak High School in Cape Dorset. This school recently acquired a beautiful digital piano, thanks to the generosity of the Friends of the National Arts Centre Orchestra. With this addition to their music room, students have had the opportunity to work on keyboard skills, songwriting, and digital recording techniques.
The schools' music teacher, Christa Borden, is giving free piano lessons to a number of interested students, and the Music Alive Program is working with the school to support some exciting opportunities for the students to develop their musical skills. However, these students don’t have instruments at home to practice on, or to work on individually in class.
If you have a used portable keyboard that could be donated to this worthy program, we'd love to hear from you. We’re interested in all makes and models, but donated keyboards must be in playing condition and should not require any repairs. Qualifying instruments may be eligible for a charitable tax receipt from the NAC Foundation. Please contact Music Alive Program Administrator Natasha Harwood at 613-947-7000 ext 233 or natasha.harwood@nac-cna.ca for more information, or to donate an instrument.
Thank you!
