My Project

I am a middle school music teacher and am blessed to be teaching some amazing students. My goal is to provide a classroom environment that is not only inviting but also safe for all of my students. One of the safe aspects I am concerned about is sound levels and the amount of sound that passes to the neighboring classrooms when we play instruments.

The Sound Absorber panels in this project will be placed on the walls of my neighboring classrooms to help lessen the amount of sound that bleeds through during the day when playing instruments or singing takes place.
