I Just Can't See It
Funded Dec 4, 2017
Thank you so much for your donation to our classroom. I created this project because I wanted to find new ways to teach and discuss marching and sound with my students. It can be difficult for some students to grasp concepts relating to things they can't see, so I thought that this project would create a new way for them to comprehend how they march and how they play their instruments. We have not marched since the donation, so I can't speak to those benefits yet but the iPad has made a huge impact inside the classroom. We have been using an app called Tonalenergy in all of our rehearsals. This app was designed to provide visual feedback to students as they play their instruments. We have had the ability to SEE our notes, and make necessary adjustments. Students have improved their achievement levels regarding tuning, articulation and volume. I can honestly say that the students are much further along on their tonal skills this year than ever before. I can't wait to see what this does for our marching skills in the fall. Thank you again for your donation. It has made a significant impact in our classroom.”
With gratitude,
Mr. Brown
This classroom project was brought to life by Someone who cares about Texas and one other donor.

As a high school band director in a program of over 300 students, my “classroom” is constantly on the move. We go from our main rehearsal room for one class, to the gym for another and then to the football field to get ready for Friday Night Lights. It is not uncommon for classes to be taught in three or four different locations each day, and none of them are anywhere near a desktop computer. Today’s classroom instruction can’t come from behind a desk. The days of class lectures, note taking and handouts are long gone. I desperately need the ability to provide relevant, technology based instruction to my students wherever our “classroom” happens to be. A few examples of how this device will be used to impact student’s education: - mobile video applications will allow instant visual feedback to the 300+ students in the marching band - taking Spotify to all the rehearsal spaces will allow for professional quality reference recordings for the students in the concert bands - cloud based applications like Google Classroom and Office 365 allow tracking, storing, and accessing student performance data possible at all times.
