Help our 700+ "ding-a-lings" in grades K-5 to learn to play the bells! Over 700+ students in grades K-5 will be able to have instruction on the bell sets. Learning note names, counting rhythms and playing songs are the activities that will enhance the music experience for our elementary students! This is a great introduction to playing the piano keyboard!

"Ill-equipped" is how I describe our music room! We need so many instruments, but we will get the most "bang from your buck" with Rhythm Band 20 note chromatic bell sets. They are portable and can be easily moved to provide music anywhere in the building! (and out of the building, if needed!)

We could definitely use 30 Rhythm Band 20-note chromatic bell sets for my 700+ students per week in grades K-5, but we will graciously accept whatever you can give us! Instead of using fingers, the students will be using mallets to play songs. They will be reading notes in the treble clef and transferring that knowledge to the bells.

You are invited to see your money at work! You may come to our school to observe the students in action or we will send you a DVD and you can see the learning taking place and of the joy associated with making music. I will accompany the students on the piano.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
