The music room at our school needs some new instruments to make music class more fun! My students and I need help replacing our sixteen-year-old glockenspiels with some new instruments. Please help us start ROCKIN’ with some NEW GLOCKENSPIELS!
Our kindergarten through fifth grade school is located in a rapidly growing corner of Arkansas.
My students are bright, lively, fun-loving, and a joy to be around. Our school is full to the brim, with nearly 700 students. But, you wouldn't know it because of the family and community spirit we possess. We are the kind of school where teachers want to teach, parents want to help, and kids love to learn.
We celebrate all of the different cultural and family backgrounds we have through a variety of school assemblies, programs and activities. Our students and parents even helped me create a CD of songs from our state and sent it off (free of charge) to every public elementary school in the state of Arkansas! We are a school with vision, passion and a deep love for music.
My Project
A glockenspiel is a small percussion instrument composed of metal bars that are struck with mallets. When played, they create a magical sound that children love! The glockenspiels are often my students’ favorite instruments in the music room. With a new soprano and alto glockenspiel, not only will my students be able to explore, improvise, and read music, but having these new instruments will give my students more opportunities to create their own music! The glockenspiels are excellent instruments to share and use together in small group situations. I can envision the students from my school working together to write their own music using these new glockenspiels!
Maybe you remember music class from your elementary school days.
I remember a time of not having good quality instruments to express the beauty of music. With your help my students will be moving and celebrating music as they use these instruments to start ROCKIN’ with some NEW GLOCKENSPIELS. Please be a part of this exciting project!
