Some of the instruments that my students currently use are old and falling apart. The students use these instruments correctly and they fall apart due to age. For others I don't even have enough to give each student there own to use and they have to share or take turns. Taking turns is not a problem for the older students but is a hard concept for the younger students as well as the CBL students. It's hard to teach a lesson when the instruments are falling apart or they do not have enough supplies to implement it properly. Please help me get new instruments that are much deserved by my students.
