This school did not have hardly any instruments. We collected large cans last year to play since there were no drums. I am truly grateful for the contribution to enhance the exposure of music. \r\n\r\nThe students, mainly 3-4 graders, will use the drums to learn rhythm and drumming techniques. They are using the drums in the Native American heritage culture music learning beats. These drums allow the students to get hands on experience of the rich culture of Native Americans and every culture while accompanying other instruments in the process. Since drums are a common denominator of all cultures these drums will be used for many activities.\r\n\r\nI wish I would have taken a picture of their faces (grades K-4) when the drums arrived. They were loud, eyes wide, and clapping. When I opened the boxes, it was like it was Christmas or my birthday!! I am so thankful this project was funded, and I hope future projects will be funded for this school who desperately needs the addition of music instruments to further the creativity, exposure, and desired learning.","fullyFundedDate":1746786442211,"projectUrl":"project/lil-drummers/9240523/","projectTitle":"Lil Drummers","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Doughty","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8807102_orig.jpg?crop=272,272,x6,y92&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1732205657415","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8807102"},{"teacherId":8807102,"projectId":8534852,"letterContent":"Sorry I am behind schedule due to snow days, NWEA testing and lessons plans revised.\r\nWe used the keyboard for the yearly Winter musical to sing most of our Christmas songs. The children also used the keyboard to learn the names of the keys and the C-scale. \r\nWhile the keyboard was in box they would often ask \"what is that?\" I kept them in suspense until we were ready for our lessons on the keyboard.\r\nWhen the students first saw the instruments assembled, they were so very excited...They would ask \"when can I play?\" Most of them had never seen a keyboard.\r\n\r\n They also learned the parts of the keyboard and how they work to produce music. I believe this experience planted a seed that will grow in the years to come.
