My Project

Our school is over 40 years old and is in desperate need of updates, both physical and technological. My music room is slowly but surely updating with current instruments and technology. With the ever growing music world, our students need to be able to adjust to the current possibilities that music can offer! A PA system such as this would allow my student to learn hands-on experiences and create music in the modern world. My students will be able to use the system during their performances and provide them a reliable sound system that will make both the performer and the audience experience so much better. Additionally, with this system I would be able to use it in the classroom during my lessons. I currently do not have a proper sound system. I use an aux cord from my computer to a guitar amplifier to provide my students with somewhat decent sound during videos and audio examples. Most of the time the current system works but can cut out during use.

This PA system would allow the experiences in my school and classroom to further the musical education the modern world has to offer.
