My Wishlist
Guitar - PURCHASED and Received!!!! Thank you Magada
No classroom should be without one.
Musical Eggs - PURCHASED! Thank you Elizabeth Yum!
Shakers are a great way for everyone who wants to to participate, ideally 1 per child (plus a few extras just in case):
Kalimba
Kalimbas can be very calming, something a child could use independently, not necessarily during a music-specific time, rather during free time if they wanted a cool down solo activity.
Hapi Drum - PURCHASED! THANK YOU YIN-WAH!
This or something like it would be awesome
Record Player $100
The hand eye coordination and analogue joy of using a record playing is an excellent addition to our classroom
Zenergy Chime
Each note is tuned to offer clear tones and lovely harmony. We live in a vast ocean of sound. But what is the sound made by a single drop of water? Just a gentle tap with the mallet and the Zenergy Chime emits a powerful tone of singular beauty that last

One donor already bought one of these but we love it. We'd like another for our woodland shrine.
Jute Rug - PURCHASED!!! Thank you!

We need at least 15 of these Zafu cushions for sitting, light blue dark blue or yellow.
Cushions
We need quite a few of these cushions for students and teachers. Maybe 15 to start with.
Runner for the hallway - PURCHASED! Thank you Cherry!
The school has a 20 foot long bright hallway running along all three classrooms. The runner could be sisal or something more sturdy. We like the way this one looks in the photo but it's' difficult to assess the quality.
Tatami Mats
Tatami create a wonderful atmsophere and are good for dance and martial arts. We hope to get a full set but not necessarily from the link here. We are open to suggestion.

Carpet - DONATED!!! Thank you so much Ralu Carpets of NYC!!!

Elemental Reading
We believe in the power of the elements and the importance of finding balance. A traditional Feng Shui would help us see what is unseen in our space. We'd love some professional support.
