  • Fill Our Hearts With Music

    Funded Sep 20, 2019

    Thanks to your wonderful donations, my students have had the opportunity to expand on their learning of music due to the books, white boards, drums, and step piano we have received. With our white boards we have been able to play rhythm games, have everyone participate in answering questions, practice writing out music notation, and I have taped a music staff to one side so the students will be able to draw their notes. We also received dry erase sheet protectors the students can do music work on so I'm not printing out 500 sheets of paper a week!

    The two hand drums we received will be a great addition to our growing amount of drums available. We used them to practice our rhythms. The younger grades have really enjoyed making music on our new colorful step piano. I'm still exploring other ways to incorporate this piano into a fun learning game where everyone will get a chance to participate.

    I ordered a bunch of books for the class! I love reading, and I hope to expand my mini library even more. We started with "Allegro" by David Miles. It takes everyone on a classical journey through 11 masterpieces and is beautifully illustrated to help spike their imagination. The one thing my students loved the most about this book was that it played parts of each song. Some of them told me they had never seen a book like that before. I was shocked! The majority of them absolutely loved it. I have one more that plays music and a few other that have CD's to match. I can't wait to explore the other books with my classes! Thank you all again.”

  • Ukulele Fun!

    Funded Dec 24, 2019

    Thank you so much for your generous and thoughtful donations to help my amazing students receive more instruments and gain more access to music around them. These items will make a huge difference in my students’ learning, their appreciation for music, and in my growth as a teacher and educator.”

WE ALL NEED MUSIC! It hurts me to hear parents and educators question why we need music in our schools. Music feeds the soul. Music helps us with our emotions. Music unlocks parts of the brain that NOTHING ELSE CAN. In my material list, I have music books that will be used for my quiet corner and centers, small erasers that will be used for rewards and manipulatives for learning rhythms, sit spots for centers and to help the little ones know where to sit, a fun sized piano that has to be stepped on the be played (yay for movement!), dry erase pockets to lower the amount of paper being printed, organizer bins, and double sided dry erase boards for promote participation when answering questions about music. Music appreciation starts with music teachers making a difference in children's lives. Playing an instrument through the school years promotes better learning in a lot of subject areas as well as increasing a child's IQ. Music requires so much discipline, multitasking, and teamwork to be successful. It is all of the subjects in one! We talk about culture, science, math, history, and much more. I'm so blessed and excited to be part of such a great area of life.
