My Students

My students are spirited learners who are eager to learn as much as they can about music! We are a diverse school with students from many different backgrounds who are all learning how to collaborate by making music together. I teach students of many different ability levels and learning types, such as ADHD and learning differences. Many of my students struggle to be successful in the general classroom setting, but music can give them a way to shine.

My students love to sing, play instruments, and be creative!

They love to compose and perform on classroom instruments. I strive to make sure that my students get an enriching and individualized experience in my general music class. I am always searching for ways to supplement my music lessons to keep them interested and inspired.

My Project

My students love having the opportunity to read, improvise, create, and perform music using a wide variety of classroom percussion instruments. Unfortunately, many of the instruments and storage equipment in my classroom have not been replaced in over a decade, since the time that our school opened. Some of our instruments are cracked, missing parts, splintering, and are in general unsafe for small hands to play.

The instruments I am hoping to purchase here will replace the broken and outdated equipment currently in my classroom.

We need to replace claves, tone blocks, cymbals, and other percussion instruments. I am also seeking several storage shelves and compartments so that I can organize the instruments in a safer way in my classroom. Hopefully, this improved organizational system will help prevent the new equipment from being damaged moving forward.
