We were also able to purchase a few microphones that will allow some students to connect to a tuner directly and check their intonation throughout the time they are playing. We haven't been able to use them yet, as they just arrived last week, but I am looking forward to incorporating this into our routine. \r\n\r\nAs soon as we started using the tuners as part of our class warm-up routine, our sound improved immediately. Students appreciate the easy ability to do general tuning and check on problem notes. I appreciate that students are easily learning what \"in-tune\" sounds like and that we aren't taking precious class time for it. This will allow us to, next semester, work on training our ears to determine our intonation as the tuners are helping to learn what that means.","fullyFundedDate":1755468778417,"projectUrl":"project/play-tunes-in-tune-and-in-time/9605101/","projectTitle":"Play Tunes in Tune and in Time","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Norrington","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2590477_orig.jpg?crop=2048,2048,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1611260913674","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2590477"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_106428","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":346,"numTeachers":14,"percentFrplEligible":43,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":80,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":8,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"7 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"24.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":65.4,"schoolId":106428,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Carterville Junior High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Carterville Junior High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/illinois/carterville-community-unit-school-district-5/carterville-junior-high-school/106428"}
