Mallet Time

Help me give my students more opportunities to play our barred instruments we already have.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Oliver's classroom raised $914

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students love to play our barred instruments, but the current mallets at my school are over 10 years old and are in serious need of being replaced. Having this project funded would allow me to get rid of the old and have a nice new set. These mallets are also easier for students to hold properly. These will make a better sound and allow every student to play successfully.

Having new mallets will allow my students to create better-sounding music and be able to play correctly.

These mallets are also a more appropriate size for my elementary school student's hands.
