With these instruments students have begun to understand how instruments and sheet music work together to bring the music they are reading to life. \r\n\r\nThe end goal for these instruments is to allow students to independently and as a group create their own music without my direct assistance. learning how to work together, use their resources and apply what they know in their own project will be rewarding for them.\r\n\r\nThank you so much for giving these students the opportunity to create and enjoy music in such a unique way!","fullyFundedDate":1752586558680,"projectUrl":"project/help-students-get-interested-in-band/9350791/","projectTitle":"Help Students Get Interested in Band!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Santos","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9883748"},{"teacherId":9883748,"projectId":9020767,"letterContent":"The students were thrilled to have better sounding and more expressive cymbals on the drum set!
