Building Cognitive Function Through Musical Expression

Please help me give my students the ability to experience challenges and multi-sensory experiences. These experiences will help build my student's learning ability and encourage cognitive development.

My Project

The items that I have requested will allow my students to express themselves creatively by creating music and songs.

We will use the wooden instruments to explore pitches, tempos, and sounds.

The bells will help my students to hear the sliding scale of sounds and how the sound changes.

My goal for this project is to help my students become better thinkers and learners and to increase their ability to reach their creative potential.

My students are unique because they thirst for knowledge and new experiences. Everything is new to them, and they cannot wait to explore their relationships and environments! They love exploring new things, and I can't wait for them to experience how they can create their own music!
