My Project

I have a classroom with very curious and musical three year olds. They love to play musical instruments as we sing nursery rhymes. My instruments are limited and many of the children become upset when they don't have one to play.

Learning songs and playing rhythm is such a big part of early learning where they learn rhyming, naming body parts, and counting skills.

The large drums and multiple musical instruments will be used for large group music and literacy activities.

My students already have the natural desire to sing and make music. Now they need the tools!
