My Project

The music room is on a stage and it gets cluttered really easily when planning for music programs. This makes it hard to find different cords, instruments and materials. It also takes away from the ability for students to move freely without running into something that could hurt them.

The goal of this project is to get shelving and storage containers to be able to organize instruments, microphones, cords, costumes, set pieces, and school supplies so they are easy to access and attractively labeled in clear containers for more effective student and staff use.

Please help me to make the music room a space that is more open, so that my students have more space to move freely and play while they are singing.
