Students Need Experiences with Musical Instruments

Help me give my students a musical experience with xylophones and wooden percussion instruments.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Kurtin's classroom raised $177

My Project

My first-grade students love to listen to, dance and sing music. Unfortunately, our school doesn't have music classes for the students to experience musical experiences and broaden their musical learning.

These musical instruments will be the first musical instruments that most of my students will have ever used in their lives.

The importance of playing musical instruments is well documented, and I want my students to be able to experience making music themselves.

With the musical instruments included in my project, every student will be able to experience being a musician. They will gain self-confidence and a better understanding of music.
