My Project

My students love using Orff instruments - xylophones and metallophones in particular! The metallophones I currently have are falling apart with bars that easily fall off. I have patched them up quite a few times using hot glue and nails, but they are really at the end of their use. Given that situation, I am not able to use them as much as my students and I would like.

I am requesting donations to purchase metallophones for my elementary music classroom to replace the existing ones that are over 30 years old.

This will allow my students to use them more regularly, adding depth and enjoyment to their music education.

On top of the 300 students who will have access and use them this year, thousands more will be able to enjoy them over the course of the following years at our school. Please know that any amount you can contribute is very appreciated. Thank you for considering this project!
