Stools for Community Engagement in the Music Room

Please help me give my students seating for the music classroom! This will help with posture, engagement, and community within the music room.

My Project

The music room has been transforming! In addition to the beautiful singing voices that echo through the halls, instruments are now utilized daily! However, as students sit in the room on the floor, it has become apparent that better seating options are required!

By setting up stools in a circle around the rug in the music classroom, students will feel a stronger sense of community, have a more comfortable place to sit during class, practice good posture while playing instruments such as the recorder, and increase the feeling of community within the music room.

The music that the students have been producing has been nothing short of amazing, and the addition of these stools would enhance the community building that has already been taking place in the music room.
