The students are using the new mallets to play with more confidence on the alto xylophones and glockenspiels. I put an Alto Xylophone on our brand new Orff instrument stand that you purchased and now students can easily move that instrument around. Usually, the bulkiness of the Alto Xylophone has students choosing other instruments. The finger cymbals are delighting the students and one more student is able to play the triangles every time!\r\nThank you for your generosity.","fullyFundedDate":1772334741553,"projectUrl":"project/orff-stands-mallets-instruments/10120285/","projectTitle":"Orff Stands, Mallets, & Instruments","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. O'Brien","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10442197"},{"teacherId":10298846,"projectId":9787431,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for all of your help The resources that I received have already been used by my students and they love them.\r\n\r\nMy students are always excited to have new ways to work with clay and the items I received make creating a lot easier for them.
