My Students
Ray Charles said "Music to me is like breathing-I don't get tired of breathing, I don't get tired of music.
My students are hard workers and never give up!
Practice makes better, not perfect.
My students have enjoyed learning about improvising, playing different instruments, and learning how to identify different melodies during music class. The Orff instrument stands would be the perfect addition because I know my students will be able to play the existing instruments much easier and to build their skills as musicians.
All grade levels will get the opportunity to work in groups to compose their own melodies and even explore playing different genres of music.
My Project
My school has ten Orff instruments, but not having stands makes it very hard for set up and store. Students should get the opportunity to use these wonderful instruments as much as possible. These stands will allow students to play with ease.
Every student will benefit from using the Orff instruments with stands.
Having two inclusion classes will also allow students with special needs, who like to explore the music room, to be able to walk around and play when they are standing. Having the stands at my school will allow for easy clean up too.
More than half of students from low‑income households
