Share the Gift of Music

Help me give my students the books and supplies they need in order to be successful musicians.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Bell's classroom raised $335

My Project

All of our students love hands-on learning and using their creativity. However, without enough instruments for each child in the class, students are limited by the amount of time for these meaningful experiences. With this requested set of books and accessories, each student will have access to a simple musical instrument. They will quickly learn musical concepts such as steady beat, rhythm, pitch, expressive elements, ensemble playing, music from around the world, and different historical time periods. These experiences foster great musicianship.

Also, it has been proven that students who play a musical instrument do well in math and science.

They will have greater self-esteem. Your donations will improve our students in so many ways.
