HOW THE CHIRP PROGRAM BEGAN

We wanted to bring together the desire of young students who want to learn to play an instrument with used, donated instruments. The need was for a way to supply instruments to students whose parents were not able to buy, rent or borrow an instrument so that their child could participate in the beginning band or orchestra program. The solution was somewhat simple – a recycling program for musical instruments.

“They get more incentive to practice. They get better sound out of the instruments. And they get to own it. Equipment matters.”
