Meadville, PA Grades 3-5

I am a music teacher, so I am involved with students k-6. I teach many autistic, physically handicapped and other special needs students.

We have a sound system in our multipurpose/gym, but the microphones do not work well. Our students practice very hard for programs using reading, singing, narration and dialog. But it is very difficult for the audience to hear them.

Through public performance, students gain confidence, self esteem, and recognition. With better microphones, our student's hard work will be better enjoyed and appreciated more by their audience.

We do many programs throughout the year featuring all grade levels, K-6. They are not only musical but also academic in nature.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
