My Project

Small instruments can inspire BIG dreams! This project will provide my K–5 students with a variety of musical instruments that will make learning exciting, creative, and hands-on. Students will explore rhythm, melody, steady beat, dynamics, and ensemble playing while building confidence, teamwork, creativity, and self-expression. Many of my students have limited opportunities to experience musical instruments outside of school. By placing instruments directly into their hands, every child can actively create, perform, and discover the joy of making music. Your support will fill our classroom with meaningful musical experiences and turn small sounds into BIG dreams and endless possibilities!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
