Local Solutions for Local Challenges
Objectives
Anahit Tsitsikyan Music School
To provide wind instruments to the “Anahit Tsitsikyan” Music School for the
students in need and to arrange basic infrastructure for the school’s recital hall,
which will enhance students’ ability to contribute to creating a more vibrant
community.
Goal
• To purchase wind instruments, including
trumpets, flutes, clarinets and saxophones for
the Anahit Tsitsikyan Music School.
• To purchase 120 chairs for the recital hall of the
Anahit Tsitsikyan Music School.
Project Background
The Anahit Tsitsikyan Music School is one of very few music schools in Yerevan,
which are located outside of the city center and serve mostly the local community.
The school’s recital hall was recently renovated by the U.S. Embassy’s organization
Helping Hands and Fuller Center for Housing Armenia. The school now has a
beautiful performance space. It also has tremendously dedicated students and staff.
What could be missing? Instruments!
To be able to study wind instruments students must rely on
the space and resources
of their school. While instruments like pianos and violins and a drum-‐set have been
accessible to dozens of students the past several years, wind instruments such as
clarinets and flutes, among others, are lacking at the school and most students are
unable to afford to purchase their own. Some students own the instruments, but the
school itself doesn’t have those to provide to the other students in need. The
Tsitsikyan school needs a few wind instruments to be accessible to its students. The
instruments they’ve deemed as the highest need are trumpets, flutes, clarinets and
saxophones so that the students have more diversity and opportunity in their
musical studies and so they are able to dive into the learning process as soon as
possible. This is why Ayo! is now seeking to secure funds to purchase them, which
will allow these kids to fill their new superior space with superior sounds for many
years to come.
In
addition, the school’s newly renovated recital hall lacks chairs for an audience. To
fill the performance space 120 chairs are required to ensure seats for all the guests
of recitals. One of the key elements of the students’ education is their ability to
perform. Offering a space where their family members and others can gather to
watch them play is an asset for their community. Contributing to their society
through music and dedication to the arts will also further empower these kids and
boost their confidence.
This is a project with multi-‐faceted benefits. By supporting this Ayo! project you can
play an active role in strengthening education and exposure to the arts in Armenia,
and you can help to empower the next generation. This in turn will help to create
richer communities and culture.
Say Ayo! with us to a great beat and great musical education.

Amendments:
Great news on the way! Huge sales hit the Woodwind and Brasswind website and we
decided to take the initiative and get the best deals for Anahit Tsitsikyan Music School.
We have
purchased all the flutes, clarinets, trumpets, and saxophones for only 1,540
USD! We were able to save 1,060 USD and now only have to raise money for the chairs
to complete their recital hall! We would like to thank all our supporters and donors for
believing in us!
