Sound Shaping Young Musicians

Help me give my students Sound Shapes to use in music class because they are easier to hold, aren't too big for their small hands, and will teach them the names of different shapes and colors!

My Students

Music. Singing. Dancing. Instruments. Playing. Moving. Learning. Fun. That's what happens in my music classroom every single day.

My students in the Ferguson-Florissant School District have a passion for music at very young ages but, newer instruments are needed to suit young learners' needs.

My Project

If a student wants to learn how to play the drums, they must start at a young age with various percussion instruments. That is why I am hoping to raise money to purchase Sound Shapes for my pre-k and kindergarten music classes.

These Sound Shapes will not only help my students understand rhythm and beat, but also make music class more interesting, fun, and engaging as well.

These Sound Shapes are light and small, which will be more easily accessible than the big drums that I currently use with my 1st and 2nd graders. Please help me make music with all of my students, from 3 years old to 8 years old!
