My Project

Our project, "Amplify the Stage: Upgrading Recording Tech & Creating Custom Costumes", will provide students with the tools they need to enhance their musical and creative expression. The Cricut desk and vinyl will allow us to create custom shirts, costumes, and manipulatives for music class, fostering student engagement and a sense of ownership in performances. The power strips and recording chords will upgrade our music studio, ensuring high-quality sound for student recordings and live performances. Additionally, a voice amplifier for the teacher will improve instruction, ensuring all students can hear clearly during lessons and rehearsals.

Our goal is to provide students with a professional and immersive learning experience that enhances their creativity, confidence, and technical skills.

By integrating recording technology and custom designs into our music program, students will develop a deeper appreciation for the performing arts while gaining hands-on experience in music production, stage presence, and teamwork.

What makes our students special is their passion, talent, and dedication to the arts. They thrive when given creative opportunities and shine on stage when they feel confident and supported. This project will allow them to express themselves fully, take pride in their performances, and build valuable skills that extend beyond the classroom. With your support, we can create an unforgettable, enriching experience that amplifies their voices—both on and off the stage!
