“We built up the environment for performing but we don't have the right equipment for recording or to teach [students] about recording so they can start doing their own mixes. So we we wrote a grant for a bunch of microphones and things like that; everything we would need to make studio and live recordings right here in our facility.”

“As a kinder teacher, it is hard to get the students engaged. When their mind and bodies are fully engaged, it helps me understand areas where they can grow faster than traditional whole-group learning. Thank you to the donors for this opportunity. It makes teaching fun and doable”
