Have a Seat!
Funded Jul 31, 2024Thank you so much for your generous donations that allowed me to get flexible seating options for my music classroom! The students have been enjoying the floor rockers-it really helps some of them that have a few extra wiggles to be stay in one space and focus better. The cushions I originally asked for in my proposal were not available. I ended up getting stools instead which has been awesome-some of the instruments we play are an awkward height and the stools allow students to choose whether sitting or standing feels better for them. Using the stools has made our instrument space function so much better!
I'm excited to continue to use these seating options for years to come with many, many students. I truly appreciate your support of my classroom!”

Light Up Their World with Light Up Drumsticks!
Funded Oct 31, 2022My students were SO EXCITED when I shared the light up drumsticks with them! I have used the drumsticks with my 3rd graders so far-this was the group that attended the concert that inspired the project, and I look forward to using them with more students. We used the drumsticks before Christmas to review rhythm and play bucket drums to "Jingle Bells". It was so much fun! My classroom has windows into the main hallway, so many people passing by saw us playing glowing drumsticks in the dark and commented on how fun it looked. My students were focused and well behaved during this lesson and can't wait to keep using the drumsticks. I would love to feature the drumsticks at a parent night this spring, so I am working on a plan for that. Thank you so much for your generosity. My students were very touched to learn that people who didn't even know them provided this generous gift for them and they genuinely enjoyed working on their thank you notes!”

Music is Hands On!
Funded Aug 30, 2011Thank you so much for funding my project "Music is Hands On!". My students are be so excited to receive these hand drums.
There are over 900 students in my school and they all come to music class once a week. They love to play musical instruments! We currently only have 12 hand drums in my classroom so the hand drums you have purchased will really help my students have a more hands-on experience every time they come to music class. The drums will be played by every student in the school and they will be used in music class and performances for years to come. My students and I truly appreciate your generosity! ”

Music Books for Everybody!
Funded Dec 7, 2005Thank you so much for funding the purchase of Mr. Everybody's Music Books!! My students LOVE these books and are so excited about reading music and playing instruments. I know they are going to be thrilled to be able to follow along with their own copy of the book. This will also be so helpful to students who are new to the school. It will be easier for me to help them catch up because they will have their own book to look at. Thank you again!
