My students have shown a great interest in exploring instrumental music and need some materials to help them along their quest. These materials will help our students have the necessary items needed to become proficient as musicians and performers. A metronome is essential to the development of rhythmic integrity in students. The practice pads will allow the percussionist in each class (there's a total of 40 students spread across 3 band classes). Right now, out percussionist have to take turns and rotate playing. With the purchase of practice pads, I will be able to engage more students in the learning process as a large group.
