With the new percussion mallets and rosin for the bows, my students are now able to play with the correct equipment designed for their instruments. Before, many of them were sharing or using old, worn-out tools that made it difficult to get a clear sound. Now, the mallets and bows have given them a fresh energy and pride in their music-making, allowing them to explore a fuller, richer tone and develop proper technique.\r\n\r\n\r\nThe reaction from the students was priceless. When they first opened the boxes, their faces lit up with excitement, and they couldn't wait to try the new equipment. Immediately, the room filled with a brighter, more confident sound, and several students commented on how much easier it was to play and how \"professional\" they felt. These resources are already making a lasting impact, not only on the quality of their playing, but also on their motivation to practice and grow as musicians.","fullyFundedDate":1745438875803,"projectUrl":"project/boom-crash-kids-needing-music-supplies/9054627/","projectTitle":"Boom!

The students are absolutely thrilled to explore the science area and have truly enjoyed the opportunity to engage with the variety of bugs, critters, and flowers you provided.\r\n\r\nIt has been incredible to see their excitement as they interact with the materials. They were fascinated by the critters and couldn't stop talking about what they were seeing. This hands-on experience has sparked curiosity, allowing them to discuss familiar creatures, ask questions about those they've never encountered before, and even try to identify any similar critters they might find in their own surroundings.\r\n\r\nYour contribution has made a significant impact on their learning experience. It's not every day that they get to make such close observations of the natural world, and thanks to you, they've had the chance to do just that.
