  • Rhythm/Composition Dice Activity Set

    Funded Feb 5, 2025

    Thank you once again for your generous donation to my musical dice project. I was able to create the melody dice by writing note names on them. Then, students rolled the dice and wrote down their notes on the staff whiteboards. They then performed the pattern they created on a mallet instrument.

    Students were thrilled to be able to partake in this new activity. They played the game using the materials all the way through the end of class, and didn't want to stop even when it was time to clean up.

    I am excited to use these whiteboards for more activities that involve staff reading and notation, which will help students on their musical journeys throughout their lives.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Ando

  • Leahy Music Class Materials

    Funded Dec 4, 2024

    Thank you so much for donating to make my music class more fulfilling for my students. My 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students have been able to perform various rhythms in songs including sixteenth notes, eighth notes, and quarter notes. With the addition of these instruments, I am able to have more students participate at once and have more students get more repetitions on the material.

    When students first saw the new materials, they were thrilled to have two more brand new drums. They were very excited to be able to play them. When I asked the students to choose their instruments, the new tubanos were the first ones that were taken!

    With this project, I hope to continue to have students perform different genres of music and music that connects them to their Hispanic culture.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Ando
