Our Performing Arts Class Needs Microphones and Clothing

Help me give my students clothing and microphones for our performing arts class!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Spencer-Yuen's classroom raised $713

This project is fully funded

My Project

The microphones will enhance my students' vocal projection and clarity which is crucial for stage performances. The microphones will allow students to learn proper microphone technique, gain confidence in their vocal delivery, and understand the nuances of sound amplification. This is vital for preparing them for professional performance settings where microphone use is standard.

Appropriate clothing is essential for character development and stage presence.

Costumes help students embody their roles, fostering a deeper connection to the material and enhancing their performance quality. They will learn how costuming contributes to storytelling and visual impact.

After the isolating impact of COVID-19, which limited performance opportunities and collaborative learning, these microphones and the clothing will revitalize my students' confidence and allow them to fully express themselves on stage, fostering a renewed sense of community. My goal is to provide my students with a comprehensive and professional-level performing arts education. I want to equip them with the skills, confidence, and experience necessary to succeed in both academic and professional settings.

My students are a diverse and passionate group of young artists. They possess a unique blend of creativity, resilience, and dedication. Many come from backgrounds where access to performing arts resources is limited, making their enthusiasm and drive even more remarkable.
