My Project

Do you remember how fun it was to go to music class as an elementary school student? At my elementary school, I teach Pre-K through 2nd grade general music class. My students love attending music classes, learning about different instruments and singing. My students are curious, creative, and enthusiastic about learning! They love being at school and attempting new things. Students learn the most in music class by participating.

Help me offer more tambourines to our students so we can continue to explore in music class!

Having musical instruments in our music classroom for them to explore with will take their level of learning up to the next level. With percussion-based instruments such as these tambourines, my students will be able to learn more about steady beats in music as well as also how to make their own rhythms. We would be able to learn how to play songs in music class that need instruments instead of just singing. Instead of seeing and hearing music, my students could MAKE the music! Thank you for considering helping us with this project.
