Woods Charter Music Instrument Wish List
Our musical instrument supply at Woods is populated almost entirely with donated instruments. If you have an instrument that you think we might be able to use, please contact Mr. Irons cirons@woodscharter.org---we would love to put your neglected keyboards, guitars, amps, microphones, and working mic stands to good use! Donations that would help us most right now areare listed below. Thank you for thinking of us.
3rd grade: basics of reading rhythm and pitch; signing together (needs: Orff instruments, noise makers, etc)
4th grade: recorder & singing (students purchase own recorders)
5th grade: ukulele, chord charts, and composition (students borrow school ukuleles)
6th grade: digital music making using DAW software (Logic)
High School: music theory in a rock band setting; jazz, blues, rock, folk, and pop music (mostly rock instruments)
Guitar Amp with presets
This beginner Fender amp (Mustang LT50) would be
a dream for the classroom! It has presets that allow students to experiment with tremolos and flangers
and mimic the sounds of the greats. It also has a
built-in tuner, which is always helpful!
Ukulele Replacements
Our ukuleles are aging out. All 5th graders at Woods learn to play ukulele. Here are the ones we've found work best and last longest: MAHALO UKULELE on Amazon
Guitar Pedals/Pedal Board
We currently have just one guitar pedal, a Behringer tremolo. We'd be grateful for any used and still fully operational pedals anyone has lying around, even more grateful if a parent wanted to come in and build a board with our high schoolers.
Electric Guitars
Our current crop of electric guitars have been soldered and fixed up so many times; we would welcome one in better shape to replace one that has given us years and years of music.
