Exploring the Sound (and Sights) of Music

My students need a LCD projector to watch musical performances from around the world.

Philadelphia, PA Grades 6-8

I teach general music to 6th, 7th and 8th graders. Our school is located in the inner city and is a high-need community. Thanks to strong administrative and staff support our school has a strong music program. However, we currently lack more expensive music technology equipment needed to provide students with full access to the world of music.

My students are learning about the traditional musics of various cultures and will soon be teaching music lessons to kindergartners in a nearby elementary school. By the end of the marking period they will have composed and recorded their own modern songs using aspects of the traditional music they studied.

Throughout this unit, my students will watch authentic musical performances from other cultures, critique videos of their peers teaching, and ultimately compose and record their own songs with computer applications like Garage Band. An LCD projector would make such a unit possible and help me to provide my students with a better understanding of music.

Your help will allow my students to deeply experience music making in our world. These experiences will give my students the confidence they need to effectively use their knowledge and skills to teach children who do not have the opportunity to attend music classes. With your help my students can become positive personal and musical roll models for younger children in their own neighborhood.
