Students will have their own instruments to be able to play on in class. They won't have to share anything and be able to focus on learning rather than "what is my instrument"? The accessories for the instruments allow the instruments we already have to continue to function as well as continue learning for students who can't afford to get these accessories. With these instruments, students can take them home to practice and get better at their instrument. This can increase their ability and allow them to learn more in the year as well as play music with enjoyment rather than struggling with instruments that don't work.
