Help me give my students mallets so they can play our new Orff instruments and fully participate in hands-on music making.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Fox's classroom raised $1,265

My Project
My students love making music with instruments! We were recently gifted a set of Orff instruments—xylophones, metallophones, and glockenspiels—which give students the chance to explore melody, harmony, and rhythm in a hands-on way. However, we don’t have enough mallets for the whole class to play together.
By adding mallet sets to our classroom, my students will be able to use these instruments fully in music lessons.
They’ll learn important musical skills like steady beat, pitch matching, and ensemble teamwork, all while having fun and being actively engaged.
My students come from a variety of backgrounds, and for many of them, music class is one of the highlights of their school day. With these mallets, every child will have the chance to experience the joy of playing real instruments and creating music as a group.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
