My Project

What I love about my students are how much they love music and show it through their singing. The students at Jonathan Alder are hard-working and humble when it comes to doing what they love most. By having an electric classroom piano, the students will be able to match pitch more precisely.

Our current classroom piano gets out-of-tune almost a week after tuning and never really creates a satisfying sound for the kids.

This piano will allow us to have a truly musical experience and let the students take their art to the next level.

The piano is also weighted so it will allow my keyboard students to feel what a piano should feel like, without the worry of being in tune.
