Music Supplies for the Classroom

Help me give my students more tactile learning supplies for music class this year!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Seslar's classroom raised $594

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

My students are enjoying more tactile learning in music class and these supplies would better assist them with learning musical notes.

The laminator will allow me to make reusable playdough mats for my students to practice making the notes on the musical staff.

The whiteboards can be used in my older grades to practice drawing notes on the staff and working on scales and arpeggios.

My students have become fascinated with orchestras and ballet sequences, having the books will give them an opportunity to learn variations and more instrument names.

We thank you so much for your constant support for the arts in our schools!
