Brass and Band Class 2018

The band class project was launched in the 2016/17 school year at Pfaffenwinkel Realschule Schongau. Thanks to the generous support of the Frank Hirschvogel Foundation and other contributors, 28 students received instruments—including guitars, keyboards, basses, drums, and percussion.
The program was very well received, leading to the creation of a second band class the following year, which once again required additional instruments—made possible through continued support from the foundation.
Beyond musical education, the project strengthens social skills and helps eliminate financial barriers for participating families. Demand remains high, and a new fifth-grade band class is set to begin in September.
