Zesty Xylophones!

Help me give my students a bass xylophone and an alto xylophone, so they can make beautiful music together!

Charlottesville, VA Grades PreK-2

My Project

I work in a Title I school where all of our students receive free breakfast and lunch. We have about 25 languages spoken in our school, and our students love music, which is the universal language.

We have two music teachers and two music rooms, but we only have one classroom set of instruments.

Additionally, many of the instruments we have are quite old and need to be replaced.

Our students love any chance they get to play mallet instruments, and with these additional instruments, students won't have to take turns as often, which means more time playing!

The bass and alto xylophone instruments will be used by the entire school and will allow our students to make beautiful music together!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
