My Students
The students in my chorus program are builders of community. Our school is one of the most diverse schools in our area, with a very wide range of economic and ethnic backgrounds. They are accepting and welcoming to all. Everyone has a home in our chorus family!
The students in our choirs work far above and beyond what is required of similar students to bring music to life for our community.
Each of them spends significant time outside the classroom to be adequately prepared for our exciting performances. They are shining examples of what high school students can achieve when they are challenged!
My Project
My students will use these iPod touch devices to record their individual assessments. We record every singer simultaneously on their own part while the entire group sings. For students who do not own a phone, they have to borrow from someone else.
With these devices, every student will have a device to use, eliminating the embarrassment of not having one and the awkwardness of asking to borrow another student's phone.
Recording students individually in this way helps determine that they can sing their part in a group and gives an accurate recording for them and me to review.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
