My Project

Every student should learn how to play a musical instrument. The recorder is one the easiest instruments to learn to play. It is so much fun.

Kindergarteners need music in their life.

Giving each child their own recorder to be responsible for will make them excited to want to play every day.

The teachers will make copies of the two songbooks to give out to students to learn how to play songs.

The masks and maracas are for our Italian song performance. They will be so excited to have these to perform with.

Thank you so much for your time and generous donation.
