Help Our Students Create Their Own Music!
Funded Nov 21, 2014Although our school does not have a music room or music certified, teachers at our school realize the importance of music are trying to incorporate music as much as possible into the school day. Students are involved in a recorder curriculum, and thanks to the donation of new classroom musical instruments are learning to play other instruments as well.
When receiving the instruments, my students were so excited! Some had seen some of the instruments before but had never played them. Although they enjoy playing recorders, they were very excited to finally have some other instruments to play!
Each December, each class performs a few songs for the holidays. This year, for the first time, students in three different classes supplemented their performances with cymbals and xylophones.
As the year continues, we hope to bring in more and more instruments so that students can incorporate them into the songs they are performing. We plan to have a spring concert in May where students will be performing using a variety of instruments.
Thank you so much for your donation. We know that students do not just learn from literacy and math, but through the arts as well. We are seeking to improve our music program each year, and these instruments are a great help!”
