Training the Ear: Enhancing the Choral Education Experience
Please help me give my students a more advanced choir experience by enhancing their understanding of harmonies and developing their musical ears!
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. McGee's classroom raised $917
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
To make it understandable, a Harmony Director Instructional Keyboard is like a fancy piano keyboard that helps choral directors teach harmonies better. It lets them play different notes and chords so students can hear how the music should sound. It's like having a musical coach to help everyone in the choir sing together in harmony.
Having this in my choir classroom will allow me to enhance the music theory skills of my students, causing them to have a better grasp of harmonies, a better ear for hearing chord progressions, and create an atmosphere of efficiency in rehearsals.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
