Shake, Rattle and Roll
Funded Oct 21, 2021What a joy it has been to have students using our new items. We are still waiting on a few items but know the shipping logistics are quite off right now. I love to look at the pictures I've taken of the students as they opened these items and began to use them.
The fruit and vegetable shakers have been an absolute hit. They like to use them all the time during exploration time. Their squeals of joy make me so happy and can turn any blah day into an absolute treasure.
These items will be used for years to come and so many children will be able to have a joyful experience during their music time.”

1,2,3, Play Like Me
Funded Oct 21, 2021Thank you for making this project a complete success. Although we are still waiting for some items to arrive what we have received has been a big hit. The children are so happy to use these instruments. They love to shake them and roll them and dance around the room with these items.
Having these items added to the music room will provide for many students over the next 10-15 years to participate in music making. That's a lot of kids! Your generosity is helping impact so many lives. Listening to their squeals of pure joy melts my heart daily!”

Indoor Play All the way!
Funded Sep 1, 2021I want to thank you for your donation that helped secure these items. While our schools intent was to have an indoor play area that has not happened due to COViD restrictions. I do look forward to using these items to create a fun space in the future.
This project was done in collaboration with the art teacher who also had her own project. We were going to set up the floor mats and stepping stones in addition to the bean bag games. When the space is available in the future we hope to put our items together for a great space!”

All About the Bass
Funded May 5, 2021Thank you for your generous donations that funded theses Orff bass bars. While I have not had a chance to use the new instruments with students yet, I am looking forward to doing so very soon.
It has been a very interesting start to our school year and it has taken longer for students to be ready to settle and focus (3-5 year olds). I am looking forward to introducing these wonderful new instruments when students are ready.
Please know that these instruments will last for many years to come and will be used by hundreds of children!”

Funded Dec 23, 2020Our students are still learning remotely but I have been able to create a few videos of stories from this book order. One big hit has been Monster Musical Chairs.
Thank you for supporting teachers all across the USA with your donations. Being able to use DonorsChose has really benefited my music room these past few years.
I will continue to make the stories into videos for the future and know children now and really soon will love to hear these read. May you continue to be blessed for the good you are helping do through your donations!”

Sing With Me From Home!
Funded May 7, 2020How special it is that you chose to fund my project! I’m looking forward to creating many video lessons with these materials. We don’t know when we can go back to school or if we will be able to hold music classes but I know I can teach to the video camera and get these out to my students!”

This classroom project was brought to life by FamilyAlbum and 4 other donors.Rockin' It
Funded Aug 13, 2019What a joy it is to be able to get the things my music room needs. Your generosity has made it possible to have more students engaged with the lessons than ever before.
Our new drums and tambourines have been a great asset to the room and the kids love playing them. Our new frog guiros have been a real hit as we used them with one song about frogs!
I am so pleased that you chose to donate to us and increase the things we can use and explore musical sounds with.
Please consider donating again to me or any one else you feel deserves your money.”

This classroom project was brought to life by The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and 4 other donors.Rockin' Rhythm Instruments
Funded Feb 2, 2018What a wonderful surprise to have this project funded so fast! Students loved helping me unpack our new items. The ribbons make it possible for all students to use one now without sharing!
Expanding our instrument collection now reduces the wait time and over repetitiveness. I am so happy to have these new things.
In the near future students will have the chance to use the new instruments as they rotate around the music room and use these new treasures!
My next project is to fund raise for risers. I hope you will consider helping fund that once I start a new champagne.”

Mrs. Marsh
Melody Makers!
Funded Jan 8, 2018Thank you so much for your donation to this project. We have received our new xylophones and they are a hit! I've been teaching the kindergarten students how to properly hold the mallets and they have begun to explore on these new instruments. You can see in the photos how happy the kids are to be able to get their hands on these wonderful resources.
In the near future, students will be able to play their favorite tunes using the letter names on the bars. The musical alphabet is the first seven letters of our alphabet and this is a great reinforcement!
We are so happy that you decided to fund our project and we hope you will continue to fund others.”
