Orff Instruments for Little Musicians!
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Gerlach's classroom raised $1,122
This project is fully funded
My Project
My students have been working on playing different instruments alongside singing. But in order to use these instruments effectively we need enough for the students to share them! With these instruments our elementary students can use their music reading skills to play music independently.
My goal is to get a full set of Orff instruments for my students, so they can start to express themselves musically through more way than singing.
These instruments are a great start, and could be quickly added to our rotation of instruments! After all the work my students have put in I want them to have as many opportunities as possible to share what they have learned.
