Mrs. Elliott from Las Vegas NV is requesting educational kits & games through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

My Students

The students that we serve are from all over our beautiful city. This program builds where younger student (k-2) work on rhythm, pitch and instrument families. Older Students (3-5) work on note reading and various ensemble playing. Middle school have choir and ukulele.

My Project

Last year we had a fairly successful program at home. each student had an at home kit but this year I want to focus on playing together! Our school is growing and I need more instruments so that each student will be able to experience playing together and playing a variety of percussion instruments. As my student get older I want to provide an opportunity for them to be able to read rhythms, read notes and play in different ensembles. I am slowly working toward that goal.

The smaller percussion items (scrapers, shakers and triangles) will be used in the younger classes.
