My Project
As a dedicated music teacher, I have witnessed the profound impact that percussion music has on my diverse group of students ranging from PreK to 8th grade. Their love for music, especially percussion, is undeniable, and I believe that providing them with djembe drums will be transformative.
The rhythmic beats of the djembe drums resonate deeply with my students, igniting their passion and enthusiasm for music.
With your generous contribution, we can introduce them to this traditional African instrument, broadening their musical horizons and fostering cultural appreciation. The djembe drums will serve as a powerful tool for expression, creativity, and collaboration, enhancing their overall musical education.
By equipping our music program with djembe drums, we can empower our students to develop their rhythmic skills, cultivate a sense of unity through ensemble playing, and experience the joy of creating music together. Your support will make a lasting impact on their musical journey, nurturing their talents and fostering a lifelong love for percussion. Join us in investing in the future of our talented young musicians and ensuring that every student at DES has the opportunity to explore the world of music.
