My Students

I teach in a large, suburban, public school district located in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. I work in a school with a diverse population which makes teaching fun and exciting. Each day my students come into the classroom ready to create their own original music. My students have build an exceptional collection of music and they take pride in creating tear music. Their success is my success.

My students are amazing at creating unique music!

I love their vibrant energy, smiles on their faces, and their willingness to learn and to never give up! Creating an environment where it's okay to make a mistake is a classroom that sets high expectations and never gives up on the students!

My Project

My students have been asked, in the past, to bring in their own headphones from home. Some students don't have headphone. Some have headphones that one side does not work. I would like my students to have a quality set of studio headphones to use in my class that are not too expensive.

My students should be able to hear their music in a professional way.

These headphones will do that for them. It will also allow all students to have the same experience and be able to hear the whole frequency spectrum without cutting off or exaggerating any frequencies.
