My Project

I teach music in our city. My students are very intelligent, and talented. I am starting a piano lab in my school for all grade levels, in my middle school.

The students will need these headphones for the keyboards.

So that they not only receive group lessons, but also individualized instruction on the keyboards. They will be learning piano technic, along with theory! This will create a comprehensive pathway for deserving students to have the opportunity to be successful! With headphones, students will be able to practice while others are receiving direct piano/keyboard instruction. This will be effective in maximizing group lesson time, and ensure overall achievement in the art of music making!
