My Project

My students are excitable, creative, and curious above all! They are involved in a wide array of activities, whether that be sports, church, music, family businesses, or more. They are multi-talented, humorous, and loving. My students’ main exposure to the arts is through my classroom and their future music and art classes in school, so every music class counts!

Receiving practice pads will make drumming a more peaceful and pleasant experience for our students.

We currently utilize bucket drums with vinyl PE spots, which creates wear and tear on the PE spots and is not very effective in reducing the noise of roughly 20 drummers at a time.
