Special Education Preschool Classroom Needs Musical Instruments!

Help me give my students a variety of fun and engaging musical instruments!

This project expired on May 16, 2023.

My Project

My young students love coming to school every day! They are excited to see their friends, engage in learning, and most importantly play. A lot of learning and development occurs when young children play and that is supported by a classroom full of engaging high-interest toys. These materials are selected to help meet the needs of students on the autism spectrum and with speech and language delays.

My students need musical instruments for self-expression, movement, and play!

Music is an important part of our large group learning time. My students love to sing and dance together. We do daily dance and movement experiences. I want to expand those experiences and make them more immersive by introducing musical instruments. It's also a foundation for future musical skills as we practice state standards of creating music and dance.
