I have to say, musicians' initial response was mixed- they loved the drums but were skeptical about the ear protection and decibel meter. \r\n\r\nA new drum is an \"easy sell\"- tuned-up to produce a bright tone, smooth and easy to play. An additional benefit- kindergarten students are able to learn to drum, as part of an extra instrumental music section!\r\n\r\nEar protection was a \"harder sell\", at least initially. While I explained the value of protecting hearing and provided storage and stickers to customize their personal ear plugs, they were skeptical. After only a week or two, though, drummers honestly acknowledged their value and are (mostly) wearing the earplugs without my nagging!\r\n\r\nWhile I still have to occasionally remind and redistribute new sets of earplugs, I do believe that hearing health awareness is part of our musical culture!","fullyFundedDate":1756894606588,"projectUrl":"project/drumming-up-music-and-hearing-health/9627035/","projectTitle":"Drumming Up Music and Hearing Health","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Dougan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6934555_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1660644596343","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6934555"},{"teacherId":7817306,"projectId":8304654,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generosity with your donation.

The students are incredibly grateful to see brand new resources in their mathematics classroom.

Students entered my classroom over the past two weeks excited to see what shipments had arrived. Our lap desks were the first to arrive, and students immediately found a space to sit in the classroom. They began working on their mathematics either on technology or using paper/pencil. The students were ecstatic to find a new space within the classroom to work. The following Monday everything else arrived. Students utilized the headphones for both calm during their independent time and to hear aloud explanations from their technology-based mathematics resources. Others grabbed their stools or cushions for their spaces in the classroom, and the dry-erase boards, doorbell, and tissues will be used within our classroom throughout the remainder of the school year.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your donations and appreciation for our classroom.
