My Project

I have been teaching in my new to me school placement for the past 3 years. Our program is so strong with lots of students interested in playing piano! I have a beautiful piano lab but no budget to help support it!

Today, I have students who are using headphones that are missing the pads, have wires sticking out of them, or only have sound coming out of one ear!

How can we play piano without hearing what we are playing accurately?

Our headphone set is used in our general music classes every day, multiple times a day. Students access the classroom headphone set to listen to and respond to musical selections, work in sectional rehearsals in the choral classes, and create music in garage band. They take a beating in such a good way! Please help me replace my classroom headphones with quality products that will help us continue to make beautiful music!
