My Project

My students love playing barred instruments in music class. It is their very favorite thing to do. They are able to be so creative in their music making with a variety of barred instruments that play from high to low. They can make the low roaring sound of a lion or the twinkling sound of stars.

The problem is that some of these instruments are broken beyond repair.

We need replacements! We have glockenspiels with missing bars. Instead of sounding like twinkling stars, some of our instruments sound like banging on a tin can.

Please help us to replace these broken instruments! My students want to go back to playing music that is magical again.
