Help me give my students instruments to play for an ensemble experience, to accompany themselves while singing, and to experience the joy of making music!
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Gibbons's classroom raised $991

My Project
Teaching elementary music remotely has unique challenges. I cannot give students instruments to play through the screen, nor can you even sing corporately because of different lag times in internet speeds. Music, like sports, is unique in its teamwork because you are creating something you cannot create by yourself. These xylophones I’m requesting will help students use creativity to produce music during class. It is well documented that students involved in music do better in academic areas as well, so wellness in music class translates to wellness in other academic areas.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
