Rising to the Challenge of Recorders

Help me give my students quality stools to sit on in music class.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Murphy's classroom raised $579

This project is fully funded

My Project

All of my amazing students love to come to music class to create and be a part of music. They love to dance around the room, sing, and play instruments. Some instruments, however, require students to sit in a seat.

These stackable stools will now make it possible for every student in the class to play new instruments that they couldn't before.

One of these instruments is the recorder which these talented students are so excited to play!

The recorder mutes help lower the volume of the recorder so that a whole class can play their recorders at the same time. This will increase playing and creative time while increasing the students' confidence!
