Music To My Ears!

Help my students see beyond the academics into the world of the arts. Help them enjoy the sounds of music as they learn to play the recorder.

Learning to play the recorder is a milestone for third graders. My students are very excited to begin their musical adventure next month. However, we do not have recorders or the guide book to help us learn to play .

Your contribution can provide an exciting learning experience for my students. Music is proven to be beneficial is so many ways and a class set of recorders and the teacher's book will help my students discover the world of music.

Help my students see beyond academics into the arts. Music can be a wonderful addition to any classroom. Your donation will help my students explore the world of music through learning the recorder.
