Music Stands to Create, Read and Perform Music
Funded Sep 29, 2022Thank you for the resources. My students are using the music stands in order to read and perform music in class and during performances. It is convenient as they can concentrate on reading while having the music stands support the sheet music.
When my students saw the materials, they were excited and looking forward to using it.
The next steps for my students are to perform music for our upcoming Spring Concert which includes students performing in a Chorus, class ensemble and as soloists.”

If I Cannot Fly, Let Me Sing!
Funded Feb 14, 2019Thank you again! My students have been utilizing the wireless microphone in my class for rehearsals in groups and individually. They are liking being able to sing with a microphone and being able to be heard while the other instruments are being played. They love the crisp sound of the microphone and cannot wait to work on more projects that involve working with this! I look forward to utilizing this wireless microphone next school year as I put together musical singing groups for all my grades!”

Music is the Universal Language of Mankind.
Funded Dec 30, 2017We have used these resources in class concerts, during lessons and to learn new songs. Students loved the instruments and were amazed at the sounds from them. I would like to work on more stations with them. Students utilized guitars, guitar stands and other wonderful instruments. It was also an encouragement for them to perform on these instruments in small groups, individually and as a class. The parents that came to see the concerts were amazed at the variety of instruments in the classroom.”

Music can Change the World Because it can Change People!
Funded Dec 30, 2016Thank you again for the instruments of the 20 note handbell and Diatonic Xylophone set to use in my classroom. My students are using the handbells and xylophone to explore music note reading by playing these wonderfully pitched instruments. They are able to play songs as a class, in groups and individually.
When my students first saw the instruments, they could not wait to play and learn more about it, as it adds to our classroom instruments in a new and exciting way.
For my upper elementary grades, they are currently working on a guitar curriculum and we are putting together songs to learn. For more lower grades they are working on note reading and playing pitched instruments. Thanks again for your kind contribution. My students and I sincerely appreciate it.”
