Having these instruments in our special needs classroom will allow us to begin to use music for therapy and learning purposes. We need drums, maracas and cymbals. Our school has an amazing music program, but our district does not have a music therapist. I am not currently a music therapist, but I am a certified music teacher and currently an inclusion teacher, and I am in school pursing my board certification in music therapy. My students could benefit greatly from the knowledge I gain daily if we had these instruments in our classroom.
Music therapy instruments allow students to express themselves in new ways emotionally and open their minds to amazing new ways to learn and absorb information.
