After over a year without performing, my students are itching to make music together under the Friday night lights and on the curtained stage. Through the past year, we have been unable to rehearse together and barred from sharing our love of music with others, but we have a unique opportunity to bring the music back. This year we can return as stronger musicians than before, with your help. The Dr Beat Metronome is an essential tool of the music classroom because it helps individual students and the band as a whole. This technology would develop musical independence and problem-solving because it helps students practice without a conductor. It would help my younger students recover from the year-and-a-half of lost time because the variety of settings can make complicated rhythms easier to understand by breaking the rhythms into simpler divisions. My older students will be able to use this device in small section rehearsals, which would encourage students to grow as leaders and musicians. As a band, a Dr. Beat would make rehearsal easier for all students to hear the steady beat and make music together once again.
