My Project
I run an inner-city electronic music program full of undiscovered talent. Many of our 9-12th grade students had never touched an instrument, let alone composed music, before enrolling in my classes.
For many, this will be their only chance to play an instrument their lives.
When many of my children leave my classroom, the joy of knowing that they have gained the knowledge and skills necessary to create music on their own time only matches the aforementioned glow many have when they first touch their modern band instruments.
Having this drumset will allow students to directly record live drums into the computer while remaining physically active in the classroom environment. As of now, we don't have the tools to efficiently do this type of production in our course. With your help, students can play the drumset with or without being heard, and learn more about rhythm.
