Music Growth

Funded Nov 11, 2023

I'd love to share the impact on the purchases made on classroom. I bought some music story books and students are so attentive when you read a story they've never heard but the beauty was I could tie it to music. We learned about the history of the saxophone for example. How it was used for war, classical music and jazz. Some students were able to translate that to their recorder and asked if we can learn jazz and classical songs. The music purchased help with that on the recorder, boom whackers and ukulele purchased. Then I was able to bring a jazz quintet to our school to tie it all together and have students witness live music by professional musicians.

Another impact was having the sheet music for our orff instruments. It's always good to challenge our selves to new music. To become more diverse and learn about countries' styles of music. The students now pic a country and are eager to learn what children's song, languages are played and sung around the world.

The donors choose has greatly enhanced our learning in the music room. Thank you once again!”

With gratitude,

Mr. Carter
