My Project
Help me bring the joy of music to my kindergarten classroom with a set of Boomwhackers! These colorful, pitched percussion tubes will help my students explore rhythm, melody, and teamwork in a fun and engaging way. Music supports early learning by boosting listening skills, coordination, and creativity. With Boomwhackers, my students can actively participate in music-making, even without prior experience. They’ll clap, tap, and play their way through lessons that build confidence and excitement. Your support will bring hands-on music learning to life and help create a joyful classroom environment where every child can shine through sound.
