My Project

We have been slowly trying to build up our instrument inventory and replace old instruments that are beyond repair. Our students love trying new instruments and learning to play new things. The vibraslap, cabasa, flex-a-tone and slapstick percussion instruments will add to our inventory items that we do not have yet and they have never heard.

The silicone drumstick dampeners will allow our students to learn drumming techniques as a whole group without the added noise level.

This will allow us to play more often without disrupting other classes that may be trying to test. It will also help those students that have difficulty with sensory issues and loud sounds.
