My Project

I will attach LED light strips to the interior of my students' drums which will provide my students who are Hearing Impaired or Deaf the ability to 'see' the music they are making. The various other lights will be used in the Music Therapy room and the multi-purpose room, providing all students the ability to 'see' music and rhythms.

Can you image the joy created by being able to 'see' music.

We will create a learning environment where our students can explore and appreciate sound through the interplay of lights.
