Hands-On Instruments! Group Time!

Help me give my students a complete set of hand instruments to use when working in teams. This selection of hand instruments will give us enough of each to create wonderful rhythm pieces in groups of six!

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Edgbert's classroom raised $378

This project is fully funded

My Students

Our school is a diverse community of hard working learners, with staff and students who come from five continents and speaking over 20 languages. Music is the universal language that we use to celebrate our rich cultural diversity. Please join us in our learning!

My Project

Please help my students have a complete set of traditional hand instruments! I am requesting six cowbells, six cabasas, three finger cymbals, six maracas, six woodblocks, six hand drums and six triangles!

Students will use these awesome instruments when we break into groups of up to six students to work on team rhythm projects.

Sharing is great!

This allows for equitable playing choices across the classroom. "Team 1, your turn. Show us what you've created!"

Please help us to have more instruments for being innovative and focused on cooperation! These instruments will get plenty of use!
