Mrs. LaVigne’s Classroom Edit display name

Music class is an integral part of a child's education. There are endless studies on the benefits of not only math and science but mental health as well. We love to play instruments at Tower Rock, but they are expensive! Sometimes we have to get creative, like banging on buckets instead of drums! I'd like to give students a chance to learn on something real. Learning an instrument helps build confidence. Not every student is comfortable using their singing voice, and not every family can afford an instrument. By providing a classroom set of instruments, I'm not only removing the burden of cost from families, but I'm also providing students a musical outlet aside from singing. (Don't get me wrong, we'll continue singing also!) My students are creative and talented. I want to give them an opportunity to feel proud as well!
