This teacher needs your help!

Orchestra Teamwork Makes the Music Dreamwork

Help me give my students the tools they need to succeed in the orchestra program; these items will help with things such as: bow holds, finger dexterity, correct posture and more!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Jackson's classroom raised $727

My Project

In person learning is crucial to orchestral learning and ensemble performance. COVID-19 affected our students by limiting the amount of time they could work together to enhance their teamwork and cooperative performance play. The items in this Donors Choose list will help students learn their instrument in a fun, motivating, and interactive way while encouraging teamwork in the orchestra classroom. Items such as the pig bath toys will help students enhance finger dexterity, rhythmic literacy, and ensemble performance by squeezing them together to a beat and rhythm while having fun!
