My Project

The resources I've included in my project allow my students to have access to professional materials to help our band program grow and develop. The new books will allow us to start approaching better literature in the long run. The speakers will allow me to connect to for use of metronome and tuning purposes, along with use for my elementary students (K-6) outside of band for general music.

Thank you for your contributions to our music program!

Our students will greatly appreciate these new resources in our program to enable their growth!
