Help me give my students access to a recording studio! With this audio interface, midi keyboard, and microphone, my students will be able to write, perform, record, and produce their own music at school!
My students are some of the brightest future leaders around. At Sierra Verde STEAM Academy, they explore and innovate constantly, using cutting-edge technology while learning how to collaborate to problem solve. They inspire me every day.
My students know that the Arts are as vital to our community as technology is, and they crave meaningful musical experiences.
I work my hardest to make sure that nothing holds them back from their goals. My teaching philosophy is all about encouraging and enabling students to achieve success. Because of this, I strive to keep my classroom, curriculum, and content moving forward along with the rest of the world!
My Project
My students are technological wizards. They make fun, catchy music on their phones all the time. Why shouldn't they have access to the tools the pros use?
Our last project was funded in one day--and with DonorsChoose, the corporate partnership through Yamaha, every dollar you donate will be matched on this project!
The Scarlett Audio Interface is the world's most popular device for translating high-quality audio signals to digital files. Ribbon microphones have been used on platinum records from the Beatles to Barbara Streisand. The Launchkey MIDI keyboard will allow students to play their music directly into a computer, and the iDevice compatible stereo microphone will allow my students to capture their muse wherever they find it on campus. With these materials, the only limit to their potential is their creativity!
DonorsChoose is the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.
