At the start of the New Year we want to introduce the piano into our Viva La Musica program.

We want to provide piano lessons for beginners, introduce the keyboard into our existing ensemble and to use the piano as the lead instrument in a new „Mother & Child“ choir.

Damaris, a girl in the middle group, has signed up to be the first child to take piano lessons and is eager to start learning. Every day she asks: “when we will start?” !

As you can see in the photos, a local artisan has already provided us with handmade keyboard and music stands and very fine they are too!

Now all we need is the e-pianos and keyboards themselves. We want to buy: 1 x Yamaha P121 $805 / 1 x Roland GoPiano $465 / 2 x Casio CTK-3500 $380.

We want to raise a total of $1650

You can help us reach our target by making a large or small donation using the form below. THANK YOU!

Personal Delivery & Up-Cycling

Due to local taxes the prices of imported electronic goods in Ecuador are between 30-100% more expensive than in Europe and the US! If you would like to deliver one or more of the listed items to us in person we would be delighted to welcome you in Mindo! Please contact us to arrange your visit.
Alternatively if you have any similar serviceable e-pianos or keyboards that are gathering dust in an attic or basement please come to Mindo and donate them to us in person! As a thank you we’ll be happy to perform our favourite songs for you! Perhaps you can play us and teach us some of your own favourite songs!
