Make a Joyful Noise

Help me give my students speakers to make our music louder. Help them feel more confident and sing out without holding back.

My Students

I have been working at my school for 17 years now and I love my kids. They have the best personalities and I have some students who go above and beyond to do well. They enjoy doing activities and need to be engaged at all times.

My Project

In my classroom, we use a lot of soundtracks and sing along. This allows me to be more hands on. The small speakers I use do not project the sound well and it holds my students back. If we could have larger speakers mounted on the wall, the students could sing out and not hold back anymore. This will help the students with vocal projection, especially in my musical theater class where they need to practice speaking out for a large audience to hear when they speak and when they sing.
