Inspire and Motivate the Yorkship Community

Help me give my students a way to assess their performances. The Focusrite Scarlett will allow the children to make quality recordings. These recordings will be used to self assess and to promote creativity in the community.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Thank you Donors Choose for creating a platform to motivate and inspire the teachers to provide for their students. There is truly no greater service then to contribute to the education of our future society!

The students in our community are incredibly resourceful and creative.

The seven straps will aid the children to hold the instrument, leaving their arms and hands more free to play the ukuleles. The tuners will allow the students to experience and hear the difference in quality when an instrument is properly tuned. The Focusrite audio interface will allow us to make live recordings of our performances and create digital versions of original music that is created by the scholars. Using the Cubase software to record performances is necesary for creating the recordings. The recordings will allow the students to do self assessments of a live performances. It will also be used to record original creations made and performed by the children. These gifts will help to inspire and motivate children to create and record music. Allowing the pupils to grow and challenge themselves toward improvement and proficiency.

Please help the students in Camden to have a creative platform for expression, an outlet to build self confidence and to improve musicianship skills for a digital audience.
