The arrival of the six personal voice recorders has already made a positive impact on my program. For example, we are in our last few weeks of preparation for our end of semester music department concert and the recording devices made the process of polishing the groups performance so much more efficient and student driven.\r\nOur chorus class was becoming very comfortable with one of the songs they will be performing, but I was finding that they were not able to hear the small note or timing errors that I was hearing during our rehearsals. I split the chorus into their vocal parts and asked them to move to separate locations around the room. I then handed each section one of the personal voice recorders. I showed the class how to use them and then, after a test run, the students set the devices to record, held it in the middle of each group of students, and then sang the song together. I also set one recorder in the middle of the room to capture the whole group.\r\nI was able to easily retrieve the recordings from the devices and share them with students using our digital learning platform. We listened to the recording that I had made from the center of the classroom together as a class and used it to discuss over-all, whole ensemble things that went well and needed to be improved. Then the next day we split into different rehearsal spaces as sections and each group listened to the recording that had originated right in the center of their group. The resulting sound brought their own part to the forefront of the recording, but also left it in the context of all the other parts. The groups were able to pinpoint what specifically needed to change for their part and focus their section rehearsals on making specific improvements. \r\nI can not convey strongly enough how efficiently our ensemble was able to critique and improve the performance of this one song with the usage of these recording devices. It surprised me that it worked even better than using student cell phones in prior years, before the state-wide school cell phone ban. We are now starting this process with the next most challenging song, and utilizing the devices in other ensemble classes. I will never go back to not utilizing personal recording devices in the rehearsal process and I truly appreciate your contribution to this positive change in our rehearsal approach.","fullyFundedDate":1762777098786,"projectUrl":"project/lend-me-your-ears-individual-recording/9764753/","projectTitle":"Lend Me Your Ears: Individual Recording Equipment For Musical Improvement","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Carle","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8634973_orig.jpg?crop=1677,1678,x0,y72&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1660952721869","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8634973"},{"teacherId":7573585,"projectId":9328037,"letterContent":"I asked our drama club president to help show the impact of our recent donors choose projects . \r\nThe drama dept really appreciates the light key board that was donated to us.
