Help me give my students a variety of musical instruments to teach them patterns and rhythms during their adaptive music journey in our special needs pre-k classroom.
Our school tried to pilot a specials program where all of the pre-k students would go through a rotation of specials which included music, art, science, media, and PE. Unfortunately this only lasted a few weeks since the specials teachers were not prepared for the special needs students.
I am continuing this experience for my students in the classroom, and we are in need of some music equipment to make it successful.
Children learn through music, and I want to enhance my special needs pre-k students' learning by providing them with a variety of instruments for hands-on learning of patterns and rhythm. They will benefit from learning to imitate a pattern or rhythm when learning letters, numbers, rhyming, syllables, and more along with the hands-on experience through instruments.
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
