Music Mania! New Instruments for our Music Room!

Help me give my students in my classroom instruments to enjoy and make music with!

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Lara's classroom raised $509

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

These instruments will help students feel the beat of the music, learn about the elements of music in a hands-on way, play rhythms they are learning about and add sound effects to musical stories that we read in class.

These instruments will enable students to enhance their creativity, work collaboratively with peers and saturate themselves with music of different styles and cultures.

Students will be able to create their own music using these new instruments and perform their masterpieces for their class and parents. These instruments will help students express their feelings in new and exciting ways as well.
