The research points to a phenomenon that I have now experienced in my classroom using this technology. And that is that the recording studio software and Hardware that you have helped us procure starts initially with about 20 minutes of Chaos as students explore. Within 20 minutes structure begins to emerge and by the end of a 40 to 45 minute lesson the students have great gained quite a lot of facility in using the software and Hardware as its own instrument.\r\n\r\nThis has now been happening repeatedly in my classroom over the past months because of your generosity. The students are so thrilled every time they come to class and use the equipment and in particular use koala sampler to create their own loops and then they move that into a digital audio Workstation. They have generated songs that are insanely catchy and very very effective. And because there's lyrics involved this becomes a wonderful way of capturing some of the basic tenets of their language arts curriculum.\r\n\r\nThere are several students who have really found an identity and a reason to love coming to school. These students in particular have been very successful with their songwriting, performing their own songs, and emerging with Incredible self-confidence and poise. I am incredibly grateful to you for this new chapter in their lives and mine as well.","fullyFundedDate":1723696569207,"projectUrl":"project/popular-music-pedagogy-pmp-studio/8625711/","projectTitle":"Popular Music Pedagogy (PMP) Studio!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Pulver","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7396672_orig.jpg?crop=500,500,x250,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1596815204858","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mr-pulver"},{"teacherId":7396672,"projectId":7982481,"letterContent":"My kids have just really been thriving on being able to have a one-to-one ratio between xylophones and students in every class.
