Mrs. Stephens from Oklahoma City OK is requesting musical instruments through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Percussion Mallets for Empty Hands

Help me give my students new mallets for the keyboard instruments for our band.

My Project

I love the eagerness my percussion students have to learn. They are ready every day to learn something new. Our percussion mallets are old and held together with duct tape. The mallets I’m asking for will completely refit our mallet percussion mallet section. My students will no longer have to play with mallets that break in half when the tape wears out. My students will be able to take these mallets home to practice with, and become better.

Thank you in advance for donating to help my percussion students.

They will definitely appreciate it!
