What parent doesn't want to see their child on stage? Parents of children with special needs share the same desire--to see and hear their child shine during a performance or event. Given the nature of our students and their learning challenges, some of their little voices are difficult to hear. Microphones and sound equipment will support my special students while they perform so all can benefit from their contribution to the event! I coordinate about 8 performances during the school year, all of which include disabled and non-disabled children. The shyest of children who hesitate to speak or sing will sometimes activate their voice into a microphone. Often, they don't even realize it's actually 'their' voice coming through the equipment! Currently, we borrow equipment for the day of special events; my students are most successful with repetition and consistency. Using temporary equipment can be intimidating and even dangerous for my young learners, compromising their performance. Moving wheelchairs over wires and alerting students to step over/around cords is a hazard. Having cordless microphones will provide consistency between classroom instruction to rehearsals to performance and decrease safety risks. Several of our music programs are interactive, where the parents sing and dance along with their child. Wireless microphones will allow me to walk through the large groups, giving parents and children opportunities to participate in real-time and shine during these events! Thank you for your consideration of this project for my very special students!
