My Project

Our concert loves to perform music depicting diverse cultures and especially music that coincides with holidays of different cultures. With the Lunar New Year approaching in February, I would love to teach my students about the holiday as well as have them learn to play traditional instruments on music that pays tribute to the holiday.

My band students need two Chinese toms with stands to help depict the imagery of the Lunar New Year and the Year of the Dragon.

These instruments will allow our band to perform selections of music for Lunar New Year and perform various music for many years to come.
