Music Class Instruments

Help me give my students fun and exciting instruments to learn in music class.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Cindy Parker's classroom raised $493

My Project

My students are very excited about music and learning new things. They are so kind and eager to learn. These music instruments will expose them to new lessons and the ability to play music instruments without using their mouths to blow into an instrument.

To build a melody with handbells, each student only uses one bell.

It’s not possible to play the wrong note. Using melodies we all know is comforting, and it’s easy to hear when the note you’re holding comes next. So when the class simply rang the notes in sequence, the whole melody just…happened. The room swelled with a joy and sense of pride! Students relaxed. They believed in themselves, trusted their peers, and they all wanted to do it again. This happened with EVERY grade level.

I need your help to build upon this breakthrough! These chimes are color-coded to support my students in the process of learning to read music as each color corresponds to a specific note. The chimes have a clearer and warmer sound than the handbells we currently have, which will support my students who are sensory-sensitive. The handbell and desk bell combination bells give students the opportunity to play an entire melody themselves. The other materials will support my students in learning to read, arrange and compose music.
