Help me give my students quality instruction through a quality teacher teaching device.

My Students

I teach music to all of the students at my school. We sing and dance all day. It sure is fun. They vary in age, but music is forever.

My students do not know music as​ I do and I want to teach them the ways of music through instruments and sound.

Music is sweet to the ear, pure and peaceful. Students should experience music through play and sound.

My students vary from ages four to ten. They all come from a variety of homes and situations. My students need these materials to successfully accomplish real music comprehension and appreciation. My students are in need of many things, such as love, attention, and classroom materials. It is my goal to see to it that they are taken care of, as well as taught music.

My Project

As you all may know several teachers across the nation are still teaching virtually. I am one of them and I have been teaching on a dinosaur. I have been unable to see more than one student at a time due to my outdated device. The children deserve better. Better is what they will receive once my teaching device is upgraded to something that can hold more storage and maneuver along with the new times. It has not been possible to equip myself with the better and more current device that is necessary for the virtual learning.

The goal of this project is to obtain a quality teaching device, the laptop and headset with microphone, so that I can better teach the children as well as be confident that I am providing the best on my end.
