My Project

As students sing, play instruments, play games, and participate in new activities, they will gain essential musical skills. The effect is an education that puts an emphasis on learning by doing. Student knowledge and learning in music will be enhanced as a result. This will help to create a community of lifelong music makers. I have selected several puppets, props, and a huge parachute for this project.

I would love to add glow-in-the-dark drumsticks and lights for under our bucket drums as well as some light-up gloves.

Your donation will ensure that my students take an active role in the creation and exploration of music.
