With these funds, I will be able to purchase a set of chromatic bass Joia tubes. Joia tubes are a versatile, orchestral sounding instrument that will open a broad avenue of opportunities for my students in the music room. The deep, sustained tones of the bass Joia tubes will provide the perfect sound for powerful, moving bass lines and rich, resonant harmonies. The visual, kinesthetic, and aural aspects of this instrument make them ideal for teaching the concept of harmony to students of all ages, as it allows them to see the different notes and chords being played, hear how the notes sound together in harmony, and play accompaniments to go with our classroom songs. All students are naturally creative and innovative when given the opportunity and means to succeed. The Joia tubes will provide students with a wonderful outlet for musical improvisation and composition by giving them a visual point of reference and allowing them to hear their music as they are writing it. This instrument would make a fabulous and educationally valuable addition to our instrumentarium and will directly benefit every student in our school, effectively enriching the musical education of over 350 students.
