They are out of the way against the wall, and when need be, can be moved into our small storage closet.

By donating these materials, my students are learning responsibility because they must perform the daily tasks, and weekly tasks to keep their instruments functioning and sounding great. My students learn very fast that if they skip a day, or week, their instrument stops working, and this creates one of their bigger learning moments--that one 3 minute task a day means they can continue in the music making process everyday. \r\n\r\nThank you so much for your donation--having the necessary supplies makes teaching music making a much better exepericne, and my students are better for it.","fullyFundedDate":1746786382019,"projectUrl":"project/our-band-supply-fund/9269378/","projectTitle":"Our Band Supply Fund","teacherDisplayName":"Mx.
