Project Music Unlimited is a group of students from Campolindo High School who work to spread the joy of music beyond our community to children without access to instruments or music programs.
It collects donated instruments that are no longer in use, and give them to organizations and schools, most of whom are part of the West Contra Costa Unified School District. WCCUSD provides services to 48 schools, and only a fraction of them have music programs, which they are in the process of rebuilding.
The project also hopes to provide mini performances at schools to inspire young musicians and to give occasional voluntary music lessons to students who do not have the necessary resources to have their own private lessons.
Project Music Unlimited is also working to invite other schools' students to Campolindo music concerts to promote music. In the club's short existence, it has received many instrument donations of all varieties, such as flutes, violins, cellos, drums and saxophones that are already being used by students in WCCUSD schools. The community can help by donating instruments or used recorders to put them to use after elementary school sessions. Recorders can be very useful to get young musicians started before they learn how to play a more advanced instrument.
