Less Echo-y Music Room

Help me give my students the gift of not being overstimulated due to sound. My music classroom has hard floors and walls and a smooth ceiling. My goal is to dampen the sound to eliminate echoes.

My Project

I work at a school that is known for high academic standards. Our unique community offers students opportunities to learn about animals, gardening, sustainability, and service to others. We provide students with leadership opportunities, inclusive practices, and a focus on social-emotional learning. Alongside enriching academic experiences, we offer strong family support and community involvement to enhance the quality of education at our inviting neighborhood school.

In my music classroom, sound is a given.

These sound panels will help my younger and neuro-divergent learners from being overstimulated due to too much sound in the room. I teach 275 students from Kindergarten-5th grade, and every one of them would benefit from a more sound-friendly room. Thank you for considering my class!
