This software and midi keyboard will help unlock the musical potential that I see inside many of my students. It will open up a world of musical possibilities and help them gain skills that will serve them in their musical and recording futures. My class has always been a venue for creative students to express themselves, find their musical voices, and grow as musicians, and this gift of recording software will take that to a higher level. It will be exciting to see how they'll be able to create more dynamic and interesting music with this software. Many of them will obtain the confidence and skills to pursue careers in the industry because of experience in classes like this one. In some cases, classes like these are the only thing keeping students from dropping out of school entirely. Your contribution to this cause will do so much to shape the learning, and in some cases, the very lives of these students. Words can't express the gratitude we feel for your consideration in supporting this project. Thank you.
