Instrument Fun!

My military students need a diatonic bass Global Beat Metallophone.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Fergins's classroom raised $1,031

This project is fully funded

I teach military students from pre-k through grade 5. I enjoy working with these students and I see their love of music grow throughout the year.

My military students face constant deployment of their parents and face uncertainty in their young lives constantly. Music is a comfort to them and a means of expression through performance for their peers and parents.

My military students love playing these Orff instruments and put on performances for the school to the delight of the whole school. The students learn to become very coordinated through the use of these instruments and their music success is greatly enhanced. Through the use of this instrument the students will be able to grow musically and learn how to play in an ensemble group.

You will make it possible for my students to grow as a musician and performer that will be a experience they will never forget.
