Our school of arts is located in Luhansk region in a small provincial town. But even here cultural life
rages! We can learn how to play the violin, piano, accordion, guitar, bandura, domra, tape recorder,
saxophone, mastering solo singing, playing in the theater, there are several ensembles. But there are
still no modern conditions for learning.

The Starobilsk School of Arts has been existing for 65 years and has released more than 1000 graduates,
among them the "balalaika of the world" Yevgen Trostyansky, teachers of the National Music Academy
of Ukraine named after Tchaikovsky, musicians from all corners of Ukraine, winners of artistic awards,
famous musicians of the country and the world.
Unfortunately, for the next generations there are a few singles of our talented fellow countrymen. But
how much beautiful and useful things we have lost!

Our teachers are very experienced, they write music, but the work often remains only on papers in the
drawer. And the children perform songs and eventually they can forget them, without tracing their own
development.

So once my daughter, who studies at the art school, asked, "Why is there so much music on the
Internet, and the one we create is nowhere to download?" Her questions prompted us, teachers,
directors and parents, to create a recording studio. And our team again decided to participate in the
project!

The emergence of a recording studio will be able to solve all these problems and bring our music to a new level, because this project:

• Presents new Ukrainian names of performers and musical works to the wide audience of listeners;
• distributes classical music among listeners;
• Preserves the cultural heritage for the descendants;
• technically improves the quality of learning (in the process of listening to its performance and
  parsing works with a teacher)
• it will give students the opportunity to feel the practical necessity of what they are doing;
• it will give stimulus to recorders to self-improvement;
• it will open the possibility to participate remotely in competitions of different scales.

Our team would like to launch the project as a pilot and continue to assist other art schools in
order to eventually become audio recording studios as an integral part of musical schools. This
would be a sure step in the development of children's musical art in Ukraine.

We want to prove that even people from small settlements can make big changes!

We have already applied to the International Renaissance Foundation, filed in a project
application for the Culture Program. Community "and received approval for our idea of ​​STUDIO
recording. In the case of a successful Crowdfunding campaign, during which we have to collect half of the cost of the studio, the fund co-finances the rest.
