The timely donation of this keyboard made such an impact on our rehearsals and show. Our old piano had sticking keys, would suddenly get loud or soft, and had no pedal to sustain. Our new Portable Grand has beautiful sounds, rhythm and a whole world of technology to explore.\r\n\r\nMy classroom at Hoover is home to music classes, drama rehearsals, dance rehearsals as well as choir rehearsals. We decided that an electronic keyboard would work better because of the rhythm section for kids to dance to and my ability to see my students while playing. Our school is one of the few in the area that has a choir and I know that part of our success comes from singing with an actual live instrument.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your generosity. My students are thrilled to get to sing with this beautiful keyboard.","fullyFundedDate":1730682145177,"projectUrl":"project/music-for-the-hawks/8893667/","projectTitle":"Music for the Hawks!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Carter","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9811024_orig.png?crop=831,832,x0,y61&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1730686015303","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9811024"},{"teacherId":794639,"projectId":8917530,"letterContent":"My students love using our new wind tunnel.
