Summit Drive Elementary School is one of the few schools in the nation and the only school in South Carolina to have a new instrument called “Melody Wave.” This unique instrument is a product of the Schulmerick Handbell Company. The schhol has a three-octave set of wireless batons that are connected to the “midi” and have an arsenal of instrument sounds to play. Each student plays one or two of the batons and not only learns to play and read music but also learns the feel of how it may be to be a part of some performing group like; symphony orchestra, rock band, mariachi band, jazz group, marching band and any others that you can think about.
