Noise Makers for Little People!!!

My preschool musicians need a variety of instruments, such as "Kidsplay Finger Drums" and "Animal Character Rhythm Instruments" to create their own musical masterpieces.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Bryan's classroom raised $255

This project is fully funded

I teach music at a Title One school that is extremely lucky to still have music as part of their curriculum. Our students come from low economic status, our free and reduced lunch is approximately 90%. For some of these students, their love of music keeps them energized and wanting to learn. I teach preschool through third grade as well as special needs students. Because of budget cuts, I have not had a supply fund to ensure that the students have the supplies needed to actively participate in many of the lessons I would like to do. I have the supplies to adequately teach my regular education students, however, my preschoolers are lacking the resources that would keep them engaged. I am asking for several handheld rhythm instruments to enhance music lessons such as, accompanying songs, steady beats, fast and slow, quiet and loud and much more. The younger students are the ones who benefit more with hands on activities, and I would like to ensure that I can encourage their creativity in music. Thank you for considering my proposal.
