Perfect for the music classroom ages K-6th.
Verified Buyer
Perfect for students ages K-6th to use in the music classroom. This year we are doing a school-wide focus of study on the continent of Africa as part of our Cultural Studies curriculum. In music class, we are preparing African recorder songs for our May music recital, and the 4th-6th grade children will have the opportunity to accompany select songs on djembes and using these assorted African instruments.
