My Students

Due to the recent pandemic, our district has decided to be fully virtual in order to maintain the safety of students and teachers. Every student has been provided with laptops in order to connect to teachers from home but the music classrooms face unique challenges. Each student must be equipped with the instruments and other tools in order to continue to learn in my classroom.

My Project

In light of the current state of education, many adjustments are being made to adapt to the "new normal" of teaching and learning. Distance learning has become the preferred method of delivery. This can create many challenges for the music classroom because students do not have all the proper equipment needed at their disposal at home.

Please help my students get their own metronomes/tuners so that they can play with the correct tempo and on pitch.

Metronomes and tuners are typically provided in the classroom for all students but during distant learning, each student will need their own at home.
