Help me give my students the opportunity to learn music hands on. They will accompany, compose and perform songs with boomwhackers.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
I teach General Music to the students at Borman, grades K-8. Borman is in a low-income community where 75% or more qualify for free and reduced lunch.
The students have a little exposure to the musical arts outside of school.
The experience I provide in music class at school will expose the students to many aspects of what music is and can be.
I hope to expand the view students currently have about music. I want to provide a background for them to hopefully carry with them into adulthood.
My Project
It is a known fact that involving students in the music-making process helps them learn required concepts while having fun!
With Boomwhackers, students can accompany, compose and perform music - all national standards of music education while having FUN!
We are in desperate need of a re-stock of Boomwhackers. The sets in the cart represent what is needed to stock our supply! I use boomwhackers to teach pitch and rhythm in grades K-3. In grades 4-6 they are used to teach note-reading and in grades 7-8 I teach chord progressions and arpeggiated accompaniments. The boomwhackers span the music elements well!
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
