Striking the Right Notes: Essentials for an Elementary Music Classroom

Help me give my students what we need to make music at any age and ability level! Older instruments with lots of wear and tear need to be replaced, and our classroom needs some updates too!

My Project

Help us update our classroom instruments and movement materials! Many of the current instruments we use have been well-loved over many years. It is time for new items to take their place. We need new rhythm sticks and drum sticks as well as maracas and tambourines.

Your donation will add age-appropriate instruments and tools to our music classroom so that students of all ages and abilities can engage with and respond to music!

Our classroom will also be getting a fresh coat of paint this summer, and with that comes the need for classroom set up materials, like painter's tape and Command strips, to help our space be ready for music-making!
