My Project

My students have such an enthusiasm for music! In every music class, they are excited and ready to learn. I would love to foster their love of music and take their education to the next level with more melodic instruments to help their musical journey. With these sets of resonator bells, I will teach my students proper mallet technique and how to read and play along to various musical selections.

Through basic mallet technique and Orff methodology, my students will gain new musical experiences, self-confidence, and performance experience by playing for various concerts throughout the school year.

I can't wait to see how much we can accomplish with these awesome instruments.
