For the past school year (and a half), students have had to engage in the music making experience throughout online learning. With schools reopening, I would like to give students the opportunity to have hands-on, interactive experiences with music in the safest manner possible. Having two sets of rhythm sticks and rubber mallets will provide students with multiple and varied opportunities to create and perform music in a safe environment. Students can use the rhythm sticks as solo instruments or use the rhythm sticks as drum sticks to play on different classroom surfaces. I envision doing bucket drumming with the older classes. The rubber mallets will be used to play melodic instruments such as the xylophone or glockenspiel. Your generous donation will help to make music an interactive, hands-on, experience that follows the safety guidelines of my school district, while providing multiple and varied opportunities for music making this school year. Because students cannot share instruments, it will be vital to have two class sets, so that while one set is in use, the other can be disinfected and used for the following class. These instruments will be used in various lessons throughout the school year by many students. Please consider donating to this cause.
