My Project

Beginning and young band students often don't get excited about practicing outside of class. What can get them excited and more willing to practice outside of class?

We plan on using the 3D printer to print fun and colorful accessories to help the students outside and inside the classroom.

One of the projects we are most excited about is printing home practice mutes for the brass (trumpet, trombone, and baritone) students to make it much quieter for their families and neighbors. The students were so excited when we shared this idea with them.
