Musical Instrument Appeal for Rhythm & Moves
Musical instrument appeal - instruments wanted for disabled students - I recently took part in a radio appeal on BBC radio Cambridgeshire, asking for new instruments for the class at the Arbury community centre. We are always in need of instruments and are looking for robust and colourful percussion instruments that are fun to play. We are also looking for a cymbal stand. We do not want money, just musical instruments.
If you have any instruments that you are able to donate to our group please contact either me fara@move2health.co.uk or the community centre admin@arburycommunitycentre.org.uk or ring 01223 712038 to let us know.
