My Project

With advances in technology comes the need for advances in the music classroom, too. To create a better music-listening environment for my students, I would like to update the sound system in our classroom. Gone are the days of cassette players, and now it's time to make room for Bluetooth listening experiences! This sound system will upgrade our music room to the next lever of listening experiences. These students deserve to have the opportunity to hear all different things kinds of music through quality speakers that immerse the students in sound, and also give the teacher freedom to move about the room and control the music from anywhere in the classroom.
