Many were eager to touch the keys and find their own dedicated space. Having these high-quality keyboards has allowed my Intro to Keyboard students to start their musical journey with tools that actually respond to their touch, making the learning process so much more rewarding.\r\nCurrently, we are using the keyboards to master the basics of hand positioning, scales, and simple melodies. A standout moment occurred recently when [mention a small classroom win, e.g., \"a student who had never played a note before successfully navigated their first C-major scale\"]. Because each student now has a reliable station, I can move around the room and provide one-on-one feedback more effectively, ensuring no one falls behind as we build our foundational skills.\r\nOur next big milestone is coming up in mid-January. Each student is currently selecting a \"song of their choice\" to perform solo in front of their classmates right here in our room. This classroom performance is a vital part of their growth, helping them build the confidence to share their music with others. Your gift provided the essential tools that make this daily practice and final performance possible. Thank you for investing in these new musicians.\r\nWith gratitude,","fullyFundedDate":1740000189676,"projectUrl":"project/new-keyboards-for-a-group-piano-course-t/9083231/","projectTitle":"New Keyboards for a Group Piano Course This Fall","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Mintz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8825635_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1732646375881","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrmintz"},{"teacherId":8825635,"projectId":9815637,"letterContent":"We are writing to express our profound gratitude for your generous contributions that made the \"Bringing Music to Life with a New Printer\" project a reality. The new HP and thermal printers have fundamentally transformed my Intro to Piano course by empowering me to personalize learning. Before your gift, getting customized materials meant delays and high costs. Now, I can print high-quality, organized lesson plans and supplemental materials instantly. This allows me to spend less time preparing copies and more time directly engaging with students, truly maximizing our instructional time and focusing on the art of music.\r\nThis technology has directly bridged the gap between home technology and school use. What is most exciting to the students is the personalized music selection the printers enable. For many, the most intimidating part of learning piano is feeling forced to play pieces they don't connect with. Now, when a student shows an interest in a specific song—whether it's a piece of classical music, a movie theme, or a current pop hit—I can quickly find or transcribe a simplified version and print it out immediately. This personalized choice makes the learning process instantly relevant and motivating. We have students who use technology at home but are not as knowledgeable about how it's used in school; this process shows them that digital tools can directly support their personal artistic passion.\r\nAre there particular students warmed to this new technology? Absolutely. One student, who previously seemed disinterested in doing anything in the class, completely changed once I was able to assess his skill level and print him more challenging material. I discovered he was more advanced than he let on, and now that I can provide him with sheet music matching his abilities—specifically, a Mozart piece he chose—he is practicing consistently and is excited to participate. This level of engagement and excitement, driven by the simple ability to print \"their\" music on demand, is the most rewarding impact of your generosity. Thank you for making personalized, joyful music education possible for all my piano students.","fullyFundedDate":1760693575992,"projectUrl":"project/bringing-music-to-life-with-a-new-printe/9815637/","projectTitle":"Bringing Music to Life with a New Printer","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Mintz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8825635_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1732646375881","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrmintz"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_101775","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":null,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":89,"percentAsian":8,"percentBlack":59,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":14,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"US Census Data for the surrounding geographic area","gradesServed":"Not specified","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"Census ZCTA","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":46.2,"schoolId":101775,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about PS 752Q - Queens Transition Center on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"PS 752Q - Queens Transition Center","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/district-75-city-wide-programs/ps-752q-home-instruction/101775"}
