Safely Store Music Materials

Help me give my students a more organized learning space, and protection for materials and equipment that enhance their experience as learners in the classroom and as performing musicians.

My Students

As a music specialist I am blessed to serve the entire student population! Each grade level and homeroom group has a unique class "personality". There are, however, some qualities that are consistent in students across the school: kindness, hard work, and love. I've never met a sweeter group of kids!

Their character is not the only awesome thing about them; my students are amazing, natural musicians!

Ever since I began teaching at this school, I have been in awe of the natural musical talent around me: especially in regards to singing. My students are spectacular singers!

My Project

I am seeking storage cabinets for my classroom. These cabinets are needed to store tech equipment that is required for student performances, and instruments such as ukuleles and bells, when they are not being used in class. All grades give performances. Upper grades (3rd-5th) use the instruments I listed on a weekly basis. How would a storage cabinet benefit students?

Proper organization of space and equipment that serves six separate grades is a challenge, but also a great a necessity.

A clutter-free space allows focus and optimizes student experience.

The items I listed above need to be kept both organized and safe: safe from dust, well-meaning substitute teachers who may not know how to properly use them, curious lower grade (k-2) students who occupy the space, and other things. Proper storage of equipment extends its lifetime, which saves the school money over time. The damage or total destruction of this equipment would also take away learning opportunities for all 3rd-5th grade students, and negatively impact the performance experience of all grades and their audiences (family, community).
