My Project
My students work hard every day to create the best music that they can. They go through one the most rigorous academic programs in the nation, yet still find time to make music.
My percussion equipment has always been lacking and I need more instruments to make more styles of music available to us.
We do not have any keyboard percussion instruments. The Malletstation with iPad control gives us instant access to several keyboard instruments including Xylophone, Marimba, Vibraphone, Chimes, Bells, etc.
The mallets allow is to perform on the new malletstation and the tambourine replaces and old and broken one we currently have. These items will be a huge blessing to our music program!
Half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
