My Project

Our students have been doing a phenomenal job in our General Music and Music Production classes. They have begun to understand the fundamentals of basic music theory, song writing as well as producing instrumental and digital sounds within their music production projects using various DAW in the classroom. This has been a very rewarding sight to see the students' excitment when they have succeeded in understand these elements and processes of music creation. Like anything good, we have seen major growth in these classes.

We now need an additional 7 devices in order to complete our class set.

This project will afford us the opportunity to ensure that every student is working from the same exact device at the same time in class. We thank you in advance for your assistance and investing in our students as they strive for nothing but greatness.
