My Project

Students in first and second grades will begin performing skills from the Mallet Madness resource. However, several percussion instruments are required for these students to have the full Mallet Madness experience. Students will need a set of bongos, a set of cajons, a set of temple blocks, and a conga to really get a grasp of this wonderful resource.

With your help, my students will fully be immersed in a percussion ensemble and create wonderful music.

One of the best ways to learn music is by performing music. With the Mallet Madness resource and your help in funding these percussion instruments, my students will grow musically.
