My Students

ACS is the home to amazing Hispanic, African-American and Armenian students who are passionate about learning. They love singing, moving to music, and playing along with their homemade instruments. My students and families have risen above the challenges of distance learning by standing together and removing the obstacles one at a time. These percussion kits will definitely enhance our virtual music experience!

My Project

The percussion kits include the basic percussion instruments like rhythm sticks and egg shakers to introduce kindergarten and first grade students to steady beat and rhythm. While virtual learning, we made home-made version of these instruments and students had a blast exploring materials, textures, and different timbres they could produce out of simple kitchen items. However, durability is an issue. The home-made instruments let us into the amazing world of music-making and now it is time to graduate our students to the next level; time for some authentic percussion instruments!
