While not the most exciting materials, these are necessary for both our band rehearsals and numerous percussion classes. Instruments are too small and/or are in need of repair; we also need a few more instruments to ensure all students can participate in percussion ensemble music. I have seniors using snare drums that can only go high enough for a 10-year-old! Both sets of bongos have broken heads and our marimba has only half of the bars that are able to function. When playing as an entire class for percussion ensemble, there are not enough instruments to cover all of the parts. This causes some students to not be able to participate. My goal is to get every student in the class playing and sharing in the experience of making music together. Those are the times when the most learning happens, with everyone actively participating and working together.
