My Students

The students at my Title I school are eager kids who want to show the world their music abilities. They come to music class ready to dance, sing and learn whatever musical element I want them to know.

My students love music and love to share with me their favorite experiences in music.

I want them to not only hear the music but see the music. We can see the music through sound waves.

I teach at a Title I school where all of the children receive free breakfast and free lunch. There are many students at my school who receive backpacks of food to take home over the weekend and we also have a food pantry at our school to benefit our families once a month.

Even with all the challenges that the students experience, the students come to music class eager to learn!

My Project

The printer that I am requesting is to help the students with the projects that we have coming up in our music room. The students will be working on sound projects. They will be able to see the musical waves that they create with different types of instruments and sounds.

This printer will help the students see the different sound waves they have created and print them out for a fun music display.

They will be able to share their knowledge of sound vibration with other classes. They will be able to explain the differences in the sound waves.

The students will be able to distinguish what type of instrument made the sound by just looking at the sound wave and how small or big it is. They will also be able to see the vibration waves to further help them determine what instruments made what sounds.
