My Project

I am a first year elementary music teacher at FASD, and I would like to provide my students with so many unique opportunities to learn about music! I would like to bring djembes into the classroom as well as beginner recorders so students can get more hands-on experience in learning about world music as well as basic theory concepts in our music lessons. Our elementary band is also in need of basic supplies, such as mouthpiece cleaners and reeds, so they can continue to play and maintain their instruments! I am very proud of my students and want to give them the best opportunities in my music classroom. Thank you for any contribution you make to our wonderful music program!
