My Project

My Pre-K/Kinder students are eager to make music. Naturally talented, just like any child, with substantial guidance, they can sing beautifully, producing pure and magical sounds.

With your financial support, the 20 piece color-coded handbell set will be a great musical educational resource for my students to play and sing within their vocal range.

These instruments will be their directive to match pitches, and give them a chance to sing with correct intonation at an early age.

During school assemblies, students will give awesome performances on the risers, with colorful handbells and angelic voices.
