Music is an incredibly healing and expressive form of art and education. I am using my classroom to educate students on the importance of teamwork, communication, expression, acceptance, and emotion. This development is crucial in helping them deal with what they've experienced the past few years with limited schooling and socialization. Many of these students have not had a "normal" school year due to COVID since they were in the 3rd grade. With the materials I have requested, my students will be able to participate in music-making with their peers every single day. Some families struggle to afford reeds, instrument upkeep (cork grease, cleaning swabs, mouthpiece cushions, ligatures, neck-straps), and instrument repair (repair pads, plugs). The dram bottles are used to soak reeds and I would love to provide one for every single reed player. Bandanas can be used as a cheaper alternative to a flute swab, star stickers will be placed on certain keys on instruments, and the ligatures are used to hold the reeds on the instruments. Students will learn how to use and take care of all of these materials throughout their band classes. Music enriches so many parts of life, and my students look forward to sharing it with others!
