Music Supplies for JB

Help me give my students materials for instrumental music. I am trying to obtain enough instruments for students to have equal opportunities to play each one during rhythm circles.

My Project

I love seeing my students learn about and try new instruments, play music together and watching them improve. These materials will help with our classroom drum and rhythm circles, improve band performance and also provide students with some extra materials such as reeds and books for band.

During general music classes we use tambourines, sticks, triangles, etc.

to create rhythms using various time values such as whole/half/quarter and eighth notes. I would like more of these materials so each student can have a chance on each instrument in 2 and 3 instrument settings.
