My Project

What is one of the things students look forward to most in music class each year? Playing instruments! Our students enjoy getting to create new beats, perform with their peers, and experience new styles of music through instruments. Our school is blessed to have two music classrooms and two music teachers. This, however, means that we need double of some materials.

Donating to this project means providing both music classrooms with instruments and manipulatives essential to a positive, musical learning environment.

Having these materials readily available in both music classrooms means providing students with consistent, valuable opportunities to explore music through performing. Getting to learn about instruments is always such a fun experience for our students, and your support will help make this a reality!
