My Project

I plan to use these tinkertars to give students the opportunity to make music in an approachable fun way. By focusing only on one string, young students are able to fully grasp other musical concepts while playing this instrument such as rhythms and pitches. If I'm granted these materials I have many fun lessons in mind that give students space to be creative, involve student's musical passions and interests, and will be a lot of fun. These tinkertars are brilliantly designed specifically for kids.

I need these materials in order to teach musical skills in an engaging, culturally responsive, approachable way.

Students across all grades Kindergarten through 5th grade would great benefit from your donation in order to be able to receive these materials to enhance their musical education. Please consider donating any amount that will make a big difference to the students.
