My Project

My music students are eager to perform for the school and community! In order to help them learn microphone skills and proper audio equipment use, please consider contributing to this project.

Singing in a microphone can be a true act of bravery!

By adding this equipment to our music learning spaces, I can support students in building their courage and music skills.

While students engage with and follow artists on social media, the true power of music comes alive when students have a chance to create their own music. Thank you for considering a gift that will help many students develop their own voices.
