The kids were so excited to use their new amplifiers in the classroom this week. I introduced the bass amplifier for my 5th and 6th grade classes today and they were so amazed that there is a build-in tuner on the bass amp! Some of my 8th graders saw the new bass amp and immediately expressed their desire to play their basses on it tomorrow morning. Thank you for supporting my classroom by promoting student excitement. We can't wait to use our instruments in concerts. \r\n\r\nI personally love using my wireless guitar system because it allows me to move around the classroom and be heard by the students while also correct bass guitar techniques and helping students. My music elective kids enjoy not being tied down to an amplifier with the wireless guitar system, they think it's so cool that they can move around the room to pick up a guitar pick or address the band. Thank you for bringing smiles to their faces.","fullyFundedDate":1767839326263,"projectUrl":"project/amplify-the-music-room/9665768/","projectTitle":"Amplify The Music Room","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Tañedo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8068298_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1720190064198","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8068298"},{"teacherId":8068298,"projectId":9732911,"letterContent":"We just received our new drums and the students are in awe!

I quickly collected all the materials you contributed to my music classroom and started teaching the basic drum rudiments. My 8th graders had the most fun using the new drum sticks on practice pads.

These dedicated young musicians bring tremendous passion to their work, often pushing through personal challenges just to participate.
