Boomwhackers for Young Students

Help me give my students more one on one experiences with instruments, starting at a pre-school age!

My Project

Please help me fund my project to provide boomwhackers for my elementary music classroom! Having additional boomwhackers in my classroom will give students more opportunities to have one-on-one experiences with instruments, starting at a very young age.

Currently, I do not have enough boomwhackers for each student to have their own set, which requires a lot of sharing and rotating.

Instead of spending the time sharing and waiting for turns, I would like to have more time spent with students playing. More playing equals more learning. This is the goal of my project.

My students are special because almost all of them come from economically disadvantaged households and almost all musical experiences these students have come from the school. My goal is to have that musical education be an excellent one.
