My Project

My project contains many useful items to help us have a successful year in the music classroom. The items will be used across nine different grade levels (with three classes per grade level), as well as our two school bands. The items include cymbals and other instruments, peripherals for our instruments like the drum rugs, and items for cleaning and organization in the music room. My students embrace their music classes and bands and have always embraced the progress that we've made over the past fifteen years of growing the music program. The items will be used daily, not only this year, but for many years to come.
