Musical Refresh and Protection

Help me give my students new and exciting instruments to make music!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Kani's classroom raised $315

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students are always eager to make music. They love experimenting with sound and trying new instruments. Our school is constantly growing, and we have close to 1700 students. Some of our most loved materials need a refresh so that our students can still feel pride while playing instruments. Our instruments get used so often and our students deserve to have the best.

Percussion instruments and movement scarves help reach students at all levels, even with limited English.

The tone blocks make reading rhythms extremely accessible and let the student physically feel what they are playing. The guitar cases will help protect the guitars for our older students so that they stay clean and ready for use. Any donation is greatly appreciated and will help build the music program so it is accessible for all 1700 students at our school!
