My Project

We have started music production classes at our middle school this year! We have one for the 7th graders and one for the 8th graders. We are currently writing and recording our own music, but, the microphones built into the Chromebooks are not the best quality. My students are very interested in writing and recording their own songs and raps.

To give them the quality recording that they deserve, we need microphones.

My students could be the next Megan Thee Stallion or Drake, but, they need quality materials to full achieve that potential.

Thank you for reading!
