Students find so much joy when they are first placed in front of a musical instrument. One of the things that I think is most impressive about barred instruments is the ease in which students can produce a beautiful sound. Through singing, playing, and creating, my students learn music on a deeper level. My students need four glockenspiels to ensure that every student in my classroom is actively making music. I want to purchase quality instruments for my students that will engage my students in the music making process. When students are taught about the value of musical instruments, they can last for many years and can impact hundreds of students. When all students have the opportunity to play instruments, then we are all able to make music.
