My Project

In the context of our mallet project, I believe that providing students with the opportunity to choose or even customize their own mallets is a powerful way to enhance their learning experience. By tailoring the mallets to their individual playing styles and preferences, we empower them to express themselves more authentically on the instrument.

The process of selecting or creating vibraphone mallets becomes a valuable learning experience in itself.

Students not only gain insights into the technical aspects of mallet design, materials, and construction but also develop a deeper understanding of the nuances of sound production and expression. The choices they make in selecting or crafting their mallets become an extension of their artistic identity, allowing them to connect more intimately with the music they create.

Ms. Merck will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by August 10.
