Music Students Need Quality Speakers!

My Students

I teach vocal and instrumental music in four different schools to eight different grade levels. No matter who I teach, they are all inspired to greatness when they are able to see their audience respond to their music. These speakers will deliver that connection!

I have developed a curriculum that spans eight years.

My goal is to provide my students with a solid foundation in music so that they will lead enriched lives, academically and socially. With great equipment, the students will be able to listen to quality recordings, and the sounds that my students create will be enjoyed at their best, providing immediate feedback and reinforcement.

My Project

The loudspeaker will allow my students to hear their progress without the feedback our current equipment creates. It will also allow them to listen to recordings of music without having to crowd around my tiny laptop speakers. Having the right kind of speakers is important in a music classroom for listening, recording, and performing purposes.

This gift will greatly enhance the musical experience of not only my students, but all of our audiences.

Music is such a critical part of our culture, it should be enjoyed at its best.
