Everything Old Is New Again!

Help me give my students rhythm sticks, triangles, bongos, wrist bells, and tambourines. We have many very old and worn instruments and I would like to replace them.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Perry's classroom raised $295

My Project

My students are very inquisitive when it comes to the different instruments in the classroom. They love exploring and learning to play all of them. In order to give them more exposure, I am in the process of trying to create a rhythmic atmosphere this semester. I want each class to be its own rhythm ensemble. In my quest to do that, we need more instruments.

The instruments selected are the ones that have the most wear and tear or that are lacking.

In order to encourage them to play them, the shinier, the better response. In other words, I want them to be proud of playing a new instrument that is not all "banged up".
