Making music is what we do best in my music classroom. My students come to music with open hearts and minds. Do you remember the joy music brought to you as a child? I want my students to experience that same joy!
Most of my students live in poverty.
Despite the challenges outside of school, they come to us eager to learn. My students come to music wanting to experience music to its fullest. And I can help them achieve that musical experience by adding a soprano xylophone to our instruments.
My Project
We have been blessed with receiving some xylophones from DonorsChoose over the years. Having another soprano xylophone would help make our xylophone experience complete! My students could accompany themselves with ostinati (musical patterns), learn to improvise, and practice steady beat, all with the purchase of just one soprano xylophone! Imagine the possibilities!
Having a soprano xylophone will give my students the chance they need to succeed in their young musical lives.
Just think of the good memories and experiences they will create with the right instruments at hand! The places they'll go!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
