My Project

I am the new music teacher at P811Q, and I am THRILLED to be bringing my experience teaching students with exceptionalities to a whole new group of learners! Our school has never had music before, so we need some instruments in order to hit the ground running in SY 24-25. The instruments should be as inclusively minded as possible, so I am asking for 12 sets of desk bells, 1 set of boomwackers, and 24 pairs of rhythm sticks.

With your donation, our students can engage in educational music making for the very first time, with instruments that meet their needs.

We are planning some exciting productions and LOTS of opportunities for all of our students to engage in, including a concert and 2 collaborative theater productions. We would be very grateful for your help!
