The colorful stools have been very helpful as we make our way through drumming lessons. Students were excited when they realized they would not have to kneel or stand (or switch between the two) in order to play with correct technique. One student even said, \"We come here right after recess. Now we don't have to be so tired when we're trying to play.\" \r\n\r\nOne of the keys to success in our drumming lessons is watching each other's hands to be certain we're playing at the right time. The seating you have provided has made that pivotal collaboration skill much easier for the students and the teacher to accomplish. I can already tell a big improvement in the few weeks we've been using this new seating.\r\n\r\nOnce again, I and my students thank you from the bottom of our hearts for giving to our music program!","fullyFundedDate":1736998280599,"projectUrl":"project/drumming-up-success-with-stools-for-stud/8969528/","projectTitle":"Drumming Up Success with Stools for Students","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Pluth","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5742485_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1581683917714","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5742485"},{"teacherId":99982,"projectId":8962748,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for helping our media center purchase a large amount of bookmarks with a variety of amazing designs for our students!
