This project isn't just for my students, but for all students who have music in the school, or have the ability to join the band program at EMS. I'm looking to raise money for this project to give students at EMS a different musical experience, not everyone has the ability to learn how to play a mallet instrument like the marimba, and as someone who has been playing marimba and other mallet percussion instruments for years. I want to bring the experiences I have had to students who wouldn't normally get them, or at least get access to them until they're well into high school or college. If you can donate a dollar, or even just give this post a share, I'd be so incredibly appreciative. Lets give EMS students a new, interesting experience!
