Mr. W.'s Music Classroom Experience

Help me give my students Lummi sticks, maracas, and tamborines for the best music education I can give them. The different types of drums will especially enhance their music experience.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Winters's classroom raised $925

This project is fully funded

My Project

Coming back from virtual learning, it has been apparent that the kids need to have physical instruments to touch, play, and experience. The Lummi sticks, maracas, tamborine, and drums listed will help them experience much of what the world of music has to offer.

These instruments will help to cover the different styles of music, from classical, to jazz, to pop, to multicultural music to help them have a well-rounded knowledge and appreciation for different stylings of music, and the cultures different music comes from.

Please help me with providing a hands on experience to these different styles and cultures in my music classroom.
