My Students

We are part of a very small rural school district in the southwest corner of Minnesota. I teach band to about 100 students in grades 5-12. My colleague teaches K-12 vocal music to approximately 150 students. We spend half our day in the elementary school and half at the Jr. High/Sr. High School. At each school, the music room is lacking a quality speaker/audio playback system. We enjoy playback of audio/music to enhance the music curriculum. Students can appreciate music at a higher level when played through a quality speaker. I also enjoy recording the band kids playing a piece and then playing it back for them. We can then have an open discussion on what we heard and what things we should work on to continue our progress. We consider a quality speaker/audio system at each school to be a top priority for our music classes this year. Thank you very much for your consideration!

My Project

A quality speaker system is important to our music classroom curriculum. It will be used on a daily basis to assist with lesson plans in all grade levels and ensembles. For example, band students will be able to listen back to a recording of their own playing (like a recording from their concert) and be able to hear the expressive elements and other nuances that can be heard when played through a quality audio speaker.

By donating to our music program, students will have an enhanced and more meaningful music experience.

Besides the instruments, a quality audio speaker system would likely be the most valued piece of our music curriculum.
