Hand bells add another instrument for students to explore.

Lysol helps keep our shared classroom materials and high-touch areas clean.\r\n\r\nThese may seem like small items individually, but together they make a big difference.

NUVO instruments give students an opportunity to explore how wind instruments produce sound while developing skills such as breath control, fingerings, coordination, listening, and problem-solving.\r\n\r\nOne of my biggest goals in general music is to put as many different types of instruments into students' hands as possible. Not every child will choose to join band or continue formal music study, but every child deserves the opportunity to discover an instrument that sparks their interest. This collection will allow hundreds of students in grades 3–6 to explore something new, make music together, and discover another way to be a musician.","fullyFundedDate":1786541637365,"projectUrl":"project/nuvo-instruments/10234404/","projectTitle":"NUVO Instruments!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Bobbi","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9425226_orig.jpg?crop=956,956,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1704470257005","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/musicclasswithbobbi"},{"teacherId":9425226,"projectId":10234212,"letterContent":"These STEM Bluetooth speaker kits will give my 6th-grade students the opportunity to experience music, technology, and engineering through a hands-on project that has become a tradition at our school.

The new piano keyboards have allowed us to move beyond simply talking about music theory—we are now experiencing it in real time.\r\n\r\nFrom the very first day the keyboards arrived, the excitement was electric. Students' eyes lit up as they each sat down at their own instrument. For many of them, this was the first time they had ever touched a piano. There was an immediate sense of curiosity and pride as they put on their headphones and began exploring different sounds. Even students who are typically hesitant to participate were eager to try.\r\n\r\nWe are using the keyboards to reinforce foundational music skills such as note reading, rhythm patterns, scales, and chord progressions. One particularly special moment happened during a recent lesson on melody writing. After learning about steps and skips, students composed their own short melodies and performed them for the class. Watching their confidence grow as they realized, \"I wrote that!\" was incredibly powerful. The keyboards have made composition and improvisation accessible to everyone—not just a select few.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, students are beginning a collaborative composition project where small groups will write and arrange original pieces using chord progressions they've learned. They will not only perform their music but also reflect on the creative process, building both musical and critical thinking skills. These instruments are not just tools for learning notes—they are opening doors to creativity, collaboration, and self-expression.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, our students are not just learning about music—they are becoming musicians.

Your support has not only provided the materials for a fun and engaging project—it has also helped spark creativity, curiosity, and a lasting love of music in our young learners.\r\n\r\nThanks to your kindness, each child had the opportunity to design, decorate, and build a pair of maracas using the materials your contributions provided. What may seem like a simple classroom activity became an inspiring lesson in creativity, self-expression, and cultural appreciation. The joy on their faces as they shook their finished instruments for the first time was truly priceless.\r\n\r\nYour donation also helped make music accessible and personal. For many of our students, this was the first time they had ever held a handmade instrument—one that they designed and built themselves. Watching them take pride in their work, carefully painting patterns and adding bright colors, reminded us how powerful creativity can be when children are given the tools and encouragement to explore it. These moments help build self-esteem and inspire students to keep engaging with music throughout their lives.\r\n\r\nNone of this would have been possible without your generosity. Your donation has directly impacted our ability to provide meaningful, creative learning experiences that reach every student. In a time when arts education often faces budget constraints, your contribution reminds our students that their creativity matters—that their ideas, talents, and voices are worth investing in.\r\n\r\nAs educators, we believe that music helps shape the hearts and minds of young people. It teaches discipline, patience, and joy, and it builds community within our school. Your support has made a lasting difference by giving our students not just instruments, but also memories and skills that will stay with them for years to come.\r\n\r\nOnce again, thank you for believing in our students and in the power of music education. Your generosity has brought rhythm, laughter, and inspiration to our classroom, and we are endlessly grateful. We look forward to continuing to share the wonderful sounds and stories that your kindness has made possible.","fullyFundedDate":1752586527690,"projectUrl":"project/lets-make-maracas/9459138/","projectTitle":"Let's Make Maracas!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Bobbi","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9425226_orig.jpg?crop=956,956,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1704470257005","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/musicclasswithbobbi"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_97458","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":635,"numTeachers":23,"percentFrplEligible":89,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":15,"percentWhite":16,"percentIndigenous":3,"percentLatinx":53,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":8,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"27.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":49.7,"schoolId":97458,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Dove School of Discovery Tulsa on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Dove School of Discovery Tulsa","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/oklahoma/oklahoma-department-of-education/discovery-school-of-tulsa/97458"}
