Is the rhythm gonna get you? We hope to get hopping with a set of jump bands for the music room. I teach in a small, rural school district. Community members often feel isolated as they must drive 20 minutes to the nearest town to buy groceries and other necessities. The community offers no local fine arts performance opportunities or musical venues. Students must travel over an hour for cultural events like concerts and art museums.

Although students live in an isolated community, the love of music is apparent every day. They love learning about other cultures and their musical traditions. Jump bands will introduce students to the rhythmic and aerobic art of tinikling.

Jump bands were developed from a rhythmic activity called “tinikling." This activity originates in the Philippine islands. In tinikling, there are two bamboo poles and two crossbars, which the bamboo poles rest on. The two people holding the poles are called the “strikers” which are in a kneeling position near the crossbars. The students in the middle that are moving are considered the “jumpers.” The jump bands replace the bamboo poles and are safe and comfortable for students to use. These jump bands let EVERY student be a part of expressing rhythm and movement with their bodies. No one has to sit out and wait their turn.

Will you help us get the rhythm of tinikling? You can make a difference in the lives of these students and introduce them to a new culture and a fabulous way to experience music! Your generous donation will get us hopping!
