The resources you provided, method books, clarinet reeds, and a classroom iPad, have opened doors for my students that were previously out of reach.\r\n\r\nThe instrument method books have become a foundation for daily learning. For many of my students, this is the first time they've had their very own music book to learn from, mark in, and take pride in. These books have helped them understand how to read music, practice independently, and build confidence as developing musicians. Instead of feeling lost or left behind, students now have the tools they need to grow at their own pace.\r\n\r\nThe clarinet reeds may seem like small items, but their impact has been enormous. For our clarinet players, having reliable reeds meant they could produce a clear sound, stay motivated, and truly enjoy the process of learning their instrument. Several students who were struggling before have blossomed simply because they finally had equipment that worked for them.\r\n\r\nThe classroom iPad has been a game-changer. With limited printed materials and tight classroom space, having access to digital sheet music, audio examples, and interactive learning apps has kept students more engaged than ever. It has allowed us to explore music in ways that weren't possible before, slowing down tracks, looping tricky passages, projecting examples, and giving students access to a wider variety of resources than we could ever keep in print.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, this project has given my students something far bigger than supplies: it has given them a sense of belonging, pride, and possibility. Many of them come from families facing financial hardship, and having access to the same tools as students in more resourced communities has shown them that they are worthy of investment, opportunity, and artistic growth.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, my students walk into the music room excited, prepared, and confident. They feel supported, not just by their school, but by people who believe in their potential.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping music become a place where every student can thrive. Your impact will be felt in our classroom for years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1761932864191,"projectUrl":"project/help-empower-young-musicians-with-tools/9832864/","projectTitle":"Help Empower Young Musicians With Tools to Succeed, again!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Goindoo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9905043"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_73782","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":862,"numTeachers":62,"percentFrplEligible":69,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":42,"percentWhite":4,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":48,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"13.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":66.7,"schoolId":73782,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Jeaga Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Jeaga Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/palm-beach-county-public-schools/jeaga-middle-school/73782"}
