My Project

I have some amazing middle school students who love music and they love technology. I dedicate about half of the year to the students working on laptops in Garageband. This technology requires each student to have their own set of headphones so they can concentrate on creating their masterpieces throughout the year.

I hope to get these 30 headphones to have a class set of working headphones.

Some of the headphones we have now are old and from the 1990s! I hope that you'll consider helping my kind, wonderfully talented students as we give them the tools to be the next great music producers, combining music and technology.
