My Students

My students little minds are in need of supplies for the general music classroom and the orchestral setting. My students little minds are very motivated to become great musicians but need supplies to help foster their musical growth.

My students are very eager to learn but lack some of the most bare bones supplies.

My students are low income with a large amount of the students body on free and reduced lunch. Students in the general music class are eager to learn the recorder and play interactive games with the white boards. For orchestra my students love learning and coming to lessons but sometimes are lacking rosin and exciting music to play. THIS project will help students with this.

My Project

We will do very exciting board games that will engage groups of students in a music jeopardy game and even with the younger grades easily practicing drawing notes and other musical symbols. My orchestra students are desperate for fun tunes that they can relate to and the duets and Disney tunes are a perfect hit!

This project will change all of the lives of my students with little minds that are eager to learn music.

My students need these supplies to become successful students in music. This will change my string students lives for many years to come. This project will also help my general music classroom for years with the many supplies that I hope will be donated.
