Since this project was funded, students have had access to drum machines, electric guitars, headphone amps, and production tools... giving them hands on music-making opportunities—even during distance learning. For many, it was their first chance to explore instruments and create independently, building confidence and excitement for learning.\r\n\r\nWhat's been extra exciting is how this project inspired me as well. Diving into music production and sample-based creation has allowed me to bring fresh ideas into the classroom, showing students how to blend traditional instruments with modern production techniques. Together, we've been able to experiment, collaborate, and discover new ways to express ourselves through music.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, these tools have opened doors for students who might never have had access to them otherwise—and sparked creativity that will last well beyond the classroom. I am incredibly grateful for your support.","fullyFundedDate":1605389667697,"projectUrl":"project/sample-everything-make-anything/5274444/","projectTitle":"Sample Everything, Make Anything","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Ziebarth","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7264538_orig.jpg?crop=1376,1376,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1592527969213","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ziebarth"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_92156","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":2042,"numTeachers":101,"percentFrplEligible":51,"percentAsian":12,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":63,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":13,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"7 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"20.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":55.9,"schoolId":92156,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Corona Del Mar Middle & High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Corona Del Mar Middle & High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/newport-mesa-unified-school-district/corona-del-mar-high-school/92156"}
