My Project
My students need a functioning sound system. They need to hear what track panning means. They need to hear how an EQ can affect the music they create.
Teaching my students about composition, recording, and sound engineering means they need to hear their music on a good sound system.
Right now, we have an underpowered sound bar, and they can’t hear any of that.
Your support towards this project will help get us started with speakers that will be used to play the compositions and recordings of our music students. It’s going to be an amazing experience.
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
