My Project

We use the Orff-Schulwerk teaching philosophy in our schools. We continue to add to our instrumentation so every student has their own instrument to play. Some of our classes have grown larger than the number of instruments we have in my classroom. I want every student to have the best experience and opportunity to learn and play in a positive and friendly environment. Having enough instruments is an important part of that.

I hope you will consider donating to our classroom and giving our students the opportunity to play their own instrument and not need to share, which will double their learning experience.

We appreciate your consideration.
