My Project

The students at SES are always captivated by anything that requires them playing rhythms or creating their own. We have a few conga drums that we use to add rhythm to our pop pieces, but they don't quite give the "feel" we need.

Our students would absolutely love to learn the drum set.

They get excited about playing classroom instruments, especially percussion instruments. This added instrument to our classroom space would be the absolute best gift we could have.

We have concerts coming up that the students could play this drumset to accompany pieces and form a modern day music pop band. There is so much joy and emotions that comes out of students getting a chance to play and perform. Please help me to make this happen for my students.
