My Project

Music is back at my school for the first time in over 5 years! It's been a process this school year getting a mix of basic school supplies and instruments for the music room. But we are having a blast on the journey!

I am requesting baskets to velcro to the bottom of the Orff instrument rolling carts.

These will be used to hold xylophone bars we have taken off of our instruments. It will allow us to keep the room organized and help us not to lose any parts of the xylophones! Making music is instrumental in a student's learning!

Thank you for taking the time to check out this project!
