Solutions for Active Music Making in Every Learning Situation
We recognize that “Return to Learn” plans throughout the country are changing daily, and each day brings new questions that require creative answers. Ryan West, President of West Music, and Judy Pine, Director of General Music, highlight different products that can be solutions for bring active music making back to your students this fall.
Return to Learn Products
In schools practicing social distancing, music educators might be asked to travel to different classrooms instead of having their own dedicated music rooms. Mobile solutions like the Wenger ORFFmobile or Westco Rolling Storage Tote will help take some weight off your shoulders! We’re also highlighting new children’s literature, easy-to-carry instrument sets, and other popular items focused on portability and flexibility.
Personal Elementary Music Kits
While we have shared rhythm sticks, egg shakers, and other classroom instruments in the past, in our current environment, students need a set of instruments for their own use. We understand and have selected a variety of products that are affordable and a great fit for students at different grade levels. Choose from our pre-made kits or mix and match from our selection of individual items to create the ideal set for your needs. All kits and many of the mix-and-match have quantity discounts which will be shown as you add products to your cart.
