Temple Block Trouble

The Description

With these funds I will purchase a set of synthetic temple blocks for use in our music room. These blocks have a clear, bright tone and will help students to hone their listening skills as we use them to move to the steady beat and various rhythms. These temple blocks will also provide students with a new timbre to add to our classroom performances. Their synthetic build makes them extremely durable, which is ideal for the elementary music classroom.

My students love to make music using instruments, but our ability to purchase high quality, new instruments is limited due to our budget constraints. They are truly appreciate of the generous individuals and donations that make it possible to grow our instrumentarium and the opportunities that this provides them with!

With these funds, we will purchase the following instrument, which also comes with a stainless steel stand and mallets: http://www.musiciselementary.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=5561

Back Up Plan

If I do not meet my goal I will purchase smaller instruments for our music room, such as cowbells and a rainstick.

About the Creator

Each week, over 350 students enter my classroom where we explore music through a variety of mediums, including speech, movement, singing and playing instruments. My students range in age from kindergarten through 5th grade and come to class in groups of 20-25 students at a time. My students come both from the comprehensive school program and the regional school program for students with emotional disabilities. They are all eager, energetic and enthusiastic to learn about and make music! Over the course of the school year, we learn about music throughout our five major units of study: Rhythm, Form, Melody, Timbre/Tone Color, and Harmony/Texture. There is never a dull moment in our classroom! Our room is spacious and welcoming, but still has many empty shelves looking to be stocked with instruments and supplies to enhance our musical experiences.
