My Project

Our youngest students at our school's Lower Campus LOVE experiencing singalong books in music class! The pictures, melodies, rhythms and patterns in singalong books cause students to request them again and again. These kinds of books captivate their imaginations, inspire colnnections and engage student musicality while developing literacy skills!

Help me to grow our music room library of singalong books curated specifically for our youngest learners at our school's Lower Campus.

Your gift will benefit hundreds of young learners each school year! Thanks in advance for your support of learning in and through music at our school!
