Tuning Our Strings Instruments

Help me give my students a full set of classroom tuners. Having a full class set of tuners will give students the ability to tune their own instruments which will give them more ownership of their playing.

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 orchestra is looking to play in tune. Right now, our tuning process takes up to 10 minutes because I have to do most of the tuning. With the addition of more tuners, students will be able to tune themselves and we can start class faster.

Having a full class set of tuners will give students the ability to tune their own instruments which will give them more ownership of their playing.

We currently have some tuners, but not enough for the entire class. The program is growing and the addition of more students has caused us to need more tuners.

I have also included some batteries because the tuners we currently have do not work any more. I guess this means we used them a lot.

Thank you in advance for helping the music grow at Accokeek.
