My Project

My students are amazing. In our building most of our instruments and mallets are pretty old. The kids do a great job taking care of them, but unfortunately they still break. Our school is getting ready to combine with another building at the end of this year, and I would love to have enough mallets for everyone to play!

Mallets are so important when playing instruments!

Currently, we only have enough for most of the class to get one mallet, so we do a lot of sharing. It would be nice to have everyone playing at the same time! The book I've ordered will give us new music to perform in class and at performances!
