Making Future Recording Producers Out of Middle School Musicians

My students need music production equipment to build a recording studio.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Cherny's classroom raised $908

This project is fully funded

My Students

The students at my school are extremely dedicated and strive to achieve in each and every way. As you walk through our hallways, you hear the voices of the world. We have such an array of diversity that it makes our school very unique and multi-cultural.

Our vision is to prepare every student to be academically successful and socially responsible in an ever-changing and unpredictable world.

We strive to provide a safe learning community dedicated to high expectations for every student.

My Project

Audio engineering and music producing continue to evolve due to the progression of technology. A lot of music is created on computers. Our students have deeply expressed an interest in recording and broadcasting career fields.

We are inspired to dedicate a single isolated room, with a computer workstation, and a variety of midi players used for creating instrumental or singing tracks which the students use to record.

We are asking for equipment to help students produce music and broadcast it to the world. We are asking for acoustic wall panels, microphone isolation field, a midi drum machine, and a power switch.
