World Music Program

Help me give my students a true World Music experience. I'm the music teacher for 400 K-5 students. This year, I'm adding a string and world drumming program. Please help me expand the worldview of my students.

My Project

My students are beautifully curious.

Every year, we learn about different places in the world and "travel" to them within the bounds of our music classroom.

Over these years, I've collected many different instruments to share with students over the years, but this year I'd like to expand my program even further. This past year, I received violins from a local foundation to begin our strings program.

This year, our school has purchased a variety of drums to expand our world drumming program. What is on this list is the remainder of our instrument needs, including shoulder rests for our string program and a few unusual instruments to grow our world music focus.

Please help us create global learners and support our project.
