We now have a full set of headphones (and extras) for the students to use, whereby they can practice quietly, and concentrate on their own playing without having all of the noise from all of the other students. Not only does this mean each student can work without being distracted, it also means the entire classroom is quiet, and the teacher can work with individual students without going crazy! The quality of the headphones was better than expected for the price paid and because the price for the bulk packs were so affordable, we were able to purchase extra ones, since they often need replacement.

We now have a full size, 88 note weighted electronic piano for the kids to practice on. It is SO much better than the cheap Casio keyboards, that are fine for simple songs, but not practical when trying to learn actual piano technique, such as dynamics, and finger dexterity. Also, the Donnor brand, which was unknown a few years ago and is NOT one of the main keyboard companies, was quite a surprise with the quality of the instrument, in the build, the weighted feel of the instrument, but mostly in the sound, as it really does feel and sound like you are playing an actual acoustic real piano!","fullyFundedDate":1746466166428,"projectUrl":"project/the-full-weight-of-a-piano-education/9287880/","projectTitle":"The Full Weight of a Piano Education","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Busse","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/drbusse"},{"teacherId":5281069,"projectId":8979771,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation of notebooks and glue sticks for our chemistry class!
