The Mac that was donated is a tremendous help with our music production. It's a powerhouse in such a small package. It handles all our plug ins and wet can even use it to edit video to complement the music. My students also like learning on the Macintosh platform. They've learned to use many programs including Logic and IMovie which both come with the Mac already installed. As an educator, I was also able to use Logic and Final Cut which are exclusive to MAC.

With your donation, we were able to receive the microphone and pro tools program to get us recording. The microphone has been a great addition to our studio. It has given our studio a warm and professional sound! Pro tools is the industry standard for studio recording and it has helped tremendously! \r\nTo give you an example of the impact your donation has on our program, I'll describe our first student artist interaction. After hearing my announcement during school that we were building a recording studio, a young lady named Jasmine introduced herself to me at lunchtime. She said she sings with the choir but she's always wanted to record a song and eventually write and record her own original music. About a week later, I had an original instrumental track, original lyrics to a song and she is now working toward completing an ep before her graduation this summer. Your donation helped her achieve a dream she had no idea she could fulfill at her high school.","fullyFundedDate":1769177716928,"projectUrl":"project/make-music/9949511/","projectTitle":"Make Music","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Washington","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10377699_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1771981739100","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10377699"},{"teacherId":10242017,"projectId":10074838,"letterContent":"Thank you for your gracious donations.
