Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Our school band has been a beacon of talent and creativity, enriching the lives of both students and the broader community. However, as we strive for excellence and growth, we are facing a significant obstacle with the lack of adequate recording equipment.

Recording equipment plays a pivotal role in enhancing the educational experience of our students in several ways.

Recording equipment allows our students to listen back to their performances, identify areas for improvement, and refine their musical skills. It provides them with invaluable feedback that fosters growth and development. Students will also do their own audio engineering, mixing their recordings for optimal audio! In today's digital age, having recordings of performances is essential for students to showcase their talents when applying for scholarships, auditions, and college programs. Access to recording equipment empowers our students to build impressive portfolios that open doors to future opportunities. High-quality recordings of our school band's performances can be shared with parents, alumni, and the wider community, fostering a sense of pride and connection. It allows us to celebrate the achievements of our students and promote the importance of music education.

Despite our best efforts, our current recording equipment is outdated and insufficient to meet the evolving needs of our students. Investing in modern recording technology is not just a luxury but a necessity for the continued success of our music program.
