Music Books for Everyone!

My students need method books.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. L's classroom raised $301

My Students

My classroom is full of hardworking young musicians!

My students range from 6-8 grade.

They are some of the sweetest kids you know, but sometimes it is challenging to get what they need to be successful in class. My school is very supportive of the music program and wants to see our students be successful!

My Project

My students will use these method books every day. We work on techniques and skills that are outlined in the New Directions Book every class period. It is challenging when we only have a few books to share for the entire class. This project will allow students to work in the books in smaller groups.

I strive to make a difference in the lives of my students daily!

These books will help us accomplish that task because they will have the required materials to help the be successful young people.
