Rondos, Ragtime, and Rhapsodies on Recorders!
Funded Jul 25, 2012I want to thank you for the recorders that my class has received. Having recorders for my class has changed my students' understanding of music and their ability to express themselves, and I appreciate that your company has taken the time to improve our school through the music program.
Students are learning how to read music in the treble clef through songs that they learn on recorder. They also can transfer this skill to other instruments, and it'll be especially helpful to them if they choose to join band in middle school.
Students have also been improvising their own songs with the recorders. It's been very exciting to see and hear the students explore tone, rhythm, and pitch on their own through recorder!
Thank you for giving this gift to my students, and I hope you realize how much this means to my students and to me.”
With gratitude,

Xylophphones are as Easy as Do-Re-Mi-Sol-La
Funded Oct 1, 2012The xylophones that your donation has provided has revolutionized my classroom! My students are always excited to play xylophones and many more students are able to play at a time. Thank you so much for this generous contribution!
My students have learned how to care for these expensive instruments and now we are playing drones often in class. Students will play rhythmically on the instruments while we sing and dance. Students are also learning how to read music by playing short melodies on the xylophones.
I think the best thing that the students are doing are composing their own melodies and improvising. Students are able to express themselves using these xylophones, and that, I think, is the greatest gift that you have given my students. Thank you so much!”
