My Project

My elementary music students are energetic, creative, and eager to explore the world of sound.

This project, Repair & Rhythm: A Boost for Our Classroom Instruments, will bring a full Boomwhackers classroom set into our room to help students engage with rhythm, pitch, and musical collaboration in a hands-on way.

It also includes essential supplies like a woodwind repair kit, drumsticks, and clarinet and saxophone reeds to help restore and maintain our existing instruments. These tools will ensure our students have access to high-quality, functioning instruments that support their growth as confident, expressive young musicians. With your support, we can keep our instruments—and our music—going strong!
