Building Our Music Library

Help me give my students get more out of our general music classes with these fabulous new curriculum books.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Argerakis's classroom raised $634

This project is fully funded

My Project

I love that my general music students have taken an interest in the diversity of our general music classes. We offer a wide variety of units and lessons that cover a multitude of topics and areas from performing (on various instruments) as well as historical, cultural and technology based lessons. These books will supplement our curriculum, giving my younger students in depth exposure to the classical symphony orchestra, and my instrumental students further instructional materials to practice with. The curriculum books will help me implement new lessons into next year's classes.
