The pictures don't show all the music as 1) one of the pieces we used in our pops concert and 2) we're sight reading through \"Silver Bells\", trying to decide if we'll use it for our Christmas concert.

It is often a challenge to find music that very beginners can play and sound good with very little rehearsal time. This will be music that will teach them some of the fundamentals & notes, etc, while still being music that will catch their attention and make them WANT to play to get better. Personally, I can't wait to introduce them to the Buccaneers (since we are the Buccaneers!) and my 5th graders to Popocorn Prelude this spring.

Because that's what we do: We make do with what we have, or make it up! Your generousity has made it so nice to be able to not have to make do.

A bluetooth speaker seemed like the perfect music STEM activity to do for grades 4-8, especially since there is no need to be soldering or anything that might accidently hurt someone if they don't know how to use the equipment.

I am currently using them with my 6th graders who are reviewing notes. Using these books give them a chance to focus on the correct fingerings since the note names are written in the note values. They can learn the note name by sight (eventually becoming fully known in their brain), while playing. A 6th grade mallet student started playing out it today and was soooo encouraged that he could play a song that I could identify because he could focus on the placement of the note on the bell set and the note value and not have to think at the same time of what the note was called.
