All About That Bass Xylophone!

Help me give my students a hands on experience in making music with a bass xylophone.

My Project

My students are in need of a bass xylophone and mallets for the General Music classroom. Rather than simply enjoying listening to music, I want to allow my students to experience playing an instrument. My students will use this xylophone to learn to play rhythms, as well as learn to play melody and harmony. Some students have been experimenting with composing their own music, so these instruments could also help with their composing! I am striving to give my students full immersion in the musical experience! Incorporating a pitched barred percussion instrument will help to foster their lifelong love of music. Your generous donation would have such a tremendous effect on my students' musical experience. It is my hope for each of my students to have a complete musical experience, from learning music theory to making cultural connections in World Music. There is so much more that students can get out of music class when they can achieve a full musical experience!
