My students need your help! They come to class everyday prepared and ready to learn about various musical concepts and performance techniques. With our current inventory of instruments, some of my students have to take turns in order to rehearse or practice during band class. It is a daunting task for students to take turns every few minutes in order to understand and obtain the information that was taught.
The instruments that we are requesting will help our band to get closer to becoming a complete and balanced band. Because our band program has doubled in size this year, we need three Bb clarinets and two Bb trumpets in order for all of my students to participate throughout the entire class period. Adding these instruments to our band inventory will help the kids to learn so much more in a shorter period of time because they will each have an instrument to play and practice on during class.
Despite the lack of resources that are available at our school, my students are always actively engaged and ready to learn. I would like for each of my students to have the opportunity to play an instrument throughout the entire class period and to sign out an instrument to practice at home, which will improve their musical skills and help them to thrive in the band world.
