I am very passionate about this project! I titled it Dollars for Drums and Dreams because my students can now only dream of what it would be like to participate in a drum circle with quality tubano drums. I want to change that! With the drums that we receive I would like to begin having drum circles with my students in Kindergarten through 5th grade. We currently have ZERO African drums to use as part of a drum circle as we are a fairly new school (open just 10 years) and are still building an inventory of quality musical instruments. My students LOVE playing on the hand drums and other percussion instruments we already have in class, so I am confident that their excitement and creativity would skyrocket with the addition of 6 tubano drums to our instrument collection. Tubano drums will facilitate composing, performing, improvising, and rhythmic fluency in my students. We will implement proper African drumming technic as we learn how to play and experiment with these drums.
