My Project

This website-based music production tool allows a user to create their own music or podcasts. Students can use prerecorded instruments "loops", as a tool to make their own original music. This tool allows students to write their own songs. This will help them express themselves and create an interest in music.

My students really enjoy this project and I want them to grow their interest in music.

This project not only had a ton of positive feedback from students, but their parents as well. Students were making music in their free time at their homes. I want them to keep pursuing music and aiding them with all the necessary tools.

Please help me grow my students' interest in music.
