Our growing school district has expanded our band program to be taught in five different schools. We teach 18 classes between three Intermediate schools, 4 classes at a middle school, and 4 classes at a high school.
Each of these classes has a dire need for a Bluetooth speaker in order for us to project our metronome, pitch drones, and musical examples.
As a traveling teacher, these Bluetooth speakers will be perfect to carry between buildings.
A metronome is a rhythmic tool that teaches our students how to find a steady beat while playing music so that we can play together. We use pitch drones to develop students' ears so that they can play better in tune. Musical examples and excerpts are used to develop students' knowledge of and love for creating music.
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
