My Students

Save our ears! We have a wonderful music room, but it is much too loud! Whenever we play instruments in the room, our ears hurt and we get headaches from all of the noise.

We are an urban charter school in Chicago, IL.

Although most of our students are from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, they are very enthusiastic, creative, and energetic, and are always excited about learning how to play instruments in music class.

My Project

I am asking for large foam acoustic panels to be hung on the ceiling and walls of our class room. These panels will help reduce echoes and enable us to have more students using instruments at the same time without us being too loud for ourselves or other classrooms nearby.

Having these acoustic panels in our room will help us not only for our music classes during the school day, but also for our after school band programs which are looking to expand in the next couple of years.

With a nice rehearsal space, the sky is the limit to the musical opportunities we can provide for our students!
