Expanding Opportunity through Musical Expression

The Description

With these funds I will have a larger selection of instruments to serve the 400+ students that I teach. Currently, we have a set of boomwhackers, some rhythm sticks and 3 drums but I would like to expand the diversity of instruments to include more world instruments and pitched orff percussion instruments to further hone in the concept of pitch and rhythm. With these instruments, I will be able to allow more students the opportunity to get a turn and expand the learning.

Back Up Plan

If we do not reach our goal I will purchase materials that can be used to create instruments that replicate world instruments and that can create the sound of different pitches. Example, taking pool noodles, cutting them down to make piano dynamic rhythm sticks.
