My Project

Our guitar program improves every year. The guitar ensemble performs throughout the school year and usually participates in the final show in the spring. Most of the students are 1st year students who have never played an instrument before. During performances, our guitar ensemble performs on stage but struggles to be heard. This is discouraging to the students because they work really hard to prepare for the performance. We have attempted to record ahead and perform with the recording, but recorded performances are not always ideal. The goal of this project is to enhance our guitar performances so that our guitar students can continue to feel confident, prepared and enthused about performing on the guitar.
