Building Brains Through Music!

Help me give my students opportunities to use musical instruments for learning and for fun!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Hang's classroom raised $234

This project is fully funded

My Project

In my Pre-K classroom, every song, sound, and rhythm becomes an opportunity to grow young minds. Music isn’t just fun—it’s powerful. It activates both sides of the brain, laying the foundation for skills in language, memory, attention, and emotional regulation. But we need your help to give our students the tools to explore and experience it fully.

My energetic and curious 4- and 5-year-olds love to move, explore, and create.

With access to a variety of musical instruments that can used during different parts of the day, we can introduce meaningful, brain-boosting music experiences into our daily routine.
