Grant in Action:

Let's All Play the Drums

Leonetti Elementary has introduced a new way of learning through World Music Drumming. Thanks to Sienna Community Funds, the school has a classroom set of drums to use during music and general education classes. Leonetti Music Specialist/District Music Facilitator Gabrielle Forrest was awarded $1,459 to fund her grant, “Let’s All Play the Drums: How Drumming Can Improve School Culture and Educational Outcomes.” Forrest’s goal is to help improve students’ academic performance, confidence and motor skills, while allowing students to utilize their self-expression, relieve stress and experience different cultures around the world through drumming.
