Students are currently trying to work with incomplete sets of basic classroom rhythm instruments, mainly consisting of a few tambourines, triangles, sand blocks, that are almost 2 decades old. I divided some old rhythm sticks to share between sites. We have been mainly using body percussion and I have purchased some inexpensive shakers. We have no drums at either site. We are building a music program at two sites from scratch. We now have ukuleles for our 4th and 5th graders and a basic set of Orff (xylophones, metallophones, and glockenspiels) instruments at both sites that I am using to teach our lower grades. However, no percussion instruments have been provided. My students are currently working on a holiday program that they would like to present to their families and friends but are lacking some key instruments in order to be able to present this multicultural musical holiday show. My students would like to perform holiday songs from different cultures that we have in our school community. They are very excited to play, dance and sing songs from the continents of Africa, Australia, South America, North America, Asia, and Europe. They are waiting in anticipation for the opportunity to experience and skillfully play a variety of new instruments. This donation of drums, bells and woodblocks will give students from two separate school communities the tools needed to immerse themselves every day in music lessons, to explore and create rhythms, and to demonstrate skills learned by performing in front of an audience. Students will also gain all of the social and academic benefits that come from participating in a thriving elementary school music program.
