My Project

This is my second year teaching music, but my 16th year in education. Throughout the past year, my music students have made some incredible sounds and progress in their musical abilities.

I’ve found that what students relate to and remember from their musical expertise is the opportunity to make new and exciting sounds and tone colors.

The mallets featured in this project will help students explore xylophones, metallophones, temple blocks, wood blocks, cymbals, gongs, and so many more instruments! Each of these instruments requires a unique way of playing and the proper tool.

Help them create in a professional way while still exploring like a child.
