Do you remember the first time you heard a song that changed your life? The moment that music became an essential element to living a rich and full life. And for many young people music is a medium that allows for diffusion of knowledge of language, history, and culture because it is able to permeate common learning and language barriers. Music is at the core of human culture and an incredible unifying force. These headphones will impact the class in two major facets. First in a class that is focused on the exploration of a variety of musical genres and its history, these headphones will provide a unique audible experience that allows students to internalize the full stereophonic range of music that will open many doors that lead to cultural growth. After providing these rich individual experiences students will share and discuss with their classmates providing them with opportunities to craft and share their thoughts and opinions. Second when crafting and creating their own music the headphones will allow students to focus on their compositions without distraction will also not impeding or distracting the work of others. These headphones will further enhance the learning environment of the class and the learning experiences of these students.
