My Project

My students are so fun to teach!

They are caring, creative, and curious developing musicians.

They are open to new ideas and outlets to use their musical knowledge.

This project will allow enough hand drums for half of my classes to trade off using hand drums in the music lessons. Whether it be preschool and kindergartners tapping the steady beat or nursery rhymes, or fifth graders playing notated rhythmic patterns, hand drums are great to implement within the music room.

In addition, the djembe drum stand will allow easy usage without a need to hold the instrument.

And lastly, the Orff instrument stand will allow for a xylophone to rest in the stand for easy accessibility to roll around the classroom or move from class to our performance space.
