My Students

My students are full of life and excitement for music. Our school has many demographics and is full of diversity. Each student at our school comes through the music classroom twice a week and will be enriched by music throughout their entire time in elementary school. I try to incorporate instruments as much as I can to enhance my students learning experiences. My students love to learn new songs, dances, and instruments! We move from risers to the floor to dancing. It is a whirlwind of activity and joy!

My Project

Thank you for your generous support in helping our classroom obtain the instruments we need for an exceptional music program. Instruments are a crucial part of the elementary music experience. We currently only have enough drums for a few students at a time. I would love to be able to provide my students with enough drums to have a drum circle, everyone playing together at the same time. This project will provide my classroom with three new tubanos in various sizes.

“Rhythm is a heartbeat.

It’s the first drum, a story in sound that reveals our imagination and celebrates our power. Rhythm is the multi-cultural common ground of the human family.” -Tony Vacca
