My students need new music stands. The current ones we are using are falling apart due to old age. Our old set is over 20 years old, and needs replacement.
Reading music is an essential tool in all genres of music performance. One easily overlooked aspect of reading music is that something has to hold it up! That is where a music stand comes in.
Our current music stands are not aging gracefully. They are 20 years old and need constant maintenance.
We are a regional school district, drawing on five feeder systems.
Student interest varies greatly, ranging from surfing and skateboarding to hunting and fishing. There is an emerging music scene in the area, and this project is a great way to encourage students to participate in the local community. For some students, this might be their only opportunity to experience the joys and wonders of making music.
My Project
These new stands will replace our old ones. These ones are fully adjustable in height and angle. These stands can hold music, headphones, tuners, picks, and any other accessories. The stands I have chosen are extremely durable and should hopefully stand the test of time. With this project, my students should have the hardware to hold their music for many years to come.
As previously stated, the current state of our music stands is not good.
Many of them are in a state of disrepair and need constant maintenance. These new stands are durable and will hold up over many years. This will have an immediate positive impact on my current students, as well as my future classes as well.
