Help me give my students a microphone to use in a small recording studio so they can create and document their own music.

My Students
My students work hard every day. They often have jobs that contribute to household income and we are in a Title I rural high school. I have several who would love to experiment more with music if they had the resources.
My Project
We create all kinds of music in class and have many students who create outside of class time but have no way to save it or document it. This will build a recording studio in one of our practice rooms and give them those opportunities. This allows for experiential learning which will follow them long after they leave the classroom. I am hoping to create a place and equipment so that students can practice and refine music-making skills as well as showcasing those abilities for other students to see. I have found a computer we can use and now we just need a few more pieces to make the whole thing complete. Having a microphone will allow us to open it up and get started. Other pieces will be added as we are able, like a beat pad and mixer.
