Because of you, my elementary music students now have the opportunity to make music in a hands-on, meaningful way every single music class.\r\n\r\nSince the glockenspiels arrived, students have been excited to learn how to hold mallets correctly, read pitch patterns, and play melodies together as an ensemble. These instruments have helped bring music concepts to life—students can see, hear, and feel how notes move up and down, how patterns repeat, and how individual parts work together to create something beautiful.\r\n\r\nThe glockenspiels have also been incredibly valuable for building confidence. Students who may struggle in other academic areas shine during music class, experiencing success as they play real instruments and contribute to group performances. The joy on their faces when they recognize a melody they've played themselves is truly priceless.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has made a lasting impact on our music program. You didn't just provide instruments—you helped foster creativity, teamwork, and a lifelong appreciation for music. Thank you for believing in our students and in the importance of music education for all grades.","fullyFundedDate":1760693697718,"projectUrl":"project/let-the-music-ring/9517187/","projectTitle":"Let the Music Ring!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Stapel","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6456350_orig.jpg?crop=953,953,x3,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1563380359852","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/lisa-stapel"},{"teacherId":6456350,"projectId":9821706,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our DonorsChoose project for MIDI keyboards. Because of you, my elementary music students now have hands-on access to tools that let them create, experiment, and truly experience music in new ways.\r\n\r\nSince the keyboards arrived, our classroom has been buzzing with excitement. Students who were once hesitant to participate are now eagerly composing simple melodies, exploring rhythm patterns, and collaborating with classmates. The MIDI keyboards have allowed us to connect music theory with creativity—students can hear how notes work together, make immediate adjustments, and feel proud of what they've created.\r\n\r\nThese instruments have been especially powerful for our youngest learners. They support different learning styles, build confidence, and make abstract musical concepts concrete and fun. For many of my students, this is their first opportunity to work with music technology, opening a door to skills they might not otherwise have access to.\r\n\r\nYour kindness has made a lasting impact on our classroom. You didn't just fund supplies—you helped inspire creativity, curiosity, and a love of music that will stay with these students far beyond elementary school. We are deeply grateful for your support and belief in arts education.","fullyFundedDate":1760693783500,"projectUrl":"project/key-to-creativity-unlocking-music-with/9821706/","projectTitle":"Key to Creativity: Unlocking Music with MIDI","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Stapel","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6456350_orig.jpg?crop=953,953,x3,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1563380359852","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/lisa-stapel"},{"teacherId":1948128,"projectId":7196838,"letterContent":"Thank you again for your generous donation to this project. These items helped create and replenish needed resources for a \"thinking\" classroom- one where students utilize non-permanent surfaces, such as dry erase boards, to work on mathematics. The dry-erase pocket sleeves also provide students with a non-permanent surface to work on worksheets, challenges, and the coordinate plane. Because we use dry erase markers so frequently, they can quickly dry out. This project helped stock our classroom supply.\r\n\r\nIn addition, we regularly use task cards in our thinking classroom.

It's a perfect song to engage them this time of year.\r\n\r\nI was also able to purchase a Halloween Music Rhythm Bingo game and a Rhythm Spider craft for my elementary students. I just know they will both be a hit!\r\n\r\nThank you again for supporting music in our schools.

Your contribution has made an immediate and lasting impact on my elementary music classroom, and I wanted to share just how meaningful it has been for both my students and me.\r\n\r\nThanks to you, my students now have daily access to an engaging, high-quality, and comprehensive online music curriculum that brings music to life in ways that were previously out of reach. MusicPlayOnline provides a wide variety of interactive lessons, games, songs, and movement activities that align with national music standards and support the diverse learning needs of my students.\r\n\r\nFrom kindergarten through fifth grade, students are now actively participating in lessons that integrate rhythm, melody, movement, instruments, listening activities, and even composition — all through a digital platform that keeps them excited and motivated. Whether we are learning about world music, identifying instruments of the orchestra, or exploring creative movement, MusicPlayOnline offers something for every student to connect with, regardless of their background or experience level.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, the platform has been a tremendous resource for differentiated instruction. Students with special needs and those who need extra support are all able to engage meaningfully with music through visuals, audio cues, and interactive tools. For students who may not have access to private lessons or instruments outside of school, this platform levels the playing field and gives them opportunities they may not otherwise have.\r\n\r\nThe impact of your donation goes beyond just music class — it fosters creativity, confidence, collaboration, and joy. In a time when so many resources are limited, your support has ensured that music remains a vibrant and essential part of our school community.\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of my heart, thank you for believing in the power of music education and in the potential of every child in my classroom. Your generosity has truly made a difference.","fullyFundedDate":1746664661712,"projectUrl":"project/music-is-fundamental/9038754/","projectTitle":"Music is FUNdamental!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Stapel","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6456350_orig.jpg?crop=953,953,x3,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1563380359852","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/lisa-stapel"},{"teacherId":6456350,"projectId":9038228,"letterContent":"As I sit here preparing for the upcoming school year, I am reminded of your generosity and support, and am more than excited than ever to get back to making music with my students.
