My Project

My students love engaging in modern band instruction during music class (modern instruments that you would see in popular music). However, we only have 1 bass guitar so we have not been able to explore that instrument in the classroom. My students are rock star material and superstars in the music class. They deserve to be able to explore all instruments so that they are able to pick what they want to pursue as they grow. By adding a few more guitars to our collection we will be able to have a whole band, ready to rock and roll!
