My Project

I am a 2nd-year teacher, and my students are amazing. We are really fortunate to have a great selection of instruments for instruction, however, we are lacking in the rhythmic instrument department. When we do metal, shakes, and skins activities, we have to use jingle bells or egg shakers. We don’t have enough metals or shakes to help us have a full set of the different instrument categories. If I could get a few more triangles and hand drums, we would be able to spread the live around and give students the opportunity to play the different instruments.
