Outfitting an empty music classroom with $300
The things we hear about music education these days are
often focused on under-funded programs and regrettable music program cutbacks. So when teachers receive a budget of any
amount, we feel an obligation to use it wisely.
Any amount that is budgeted for supplying the music classroom will
inevitably disappoint us, with our wild hopes of filling our classrooms with all
the best tools and resources. No need to
wallow in the disappointment, though; with a little research and ingenuity, a
smart music teacher can find the best possible use of those precious dollars.
