Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 525

The keyboard, pedal and table stand have been used almost everyday this school year to assist the Lake Park Elementary students with singing and various demonstrations using rhythms, styles and tempos.  The students were able to create many sounds with their imaginations and it allowed us to perform various songs in different types of settings.  The flexibility of having the keyboard on wheels allowed us to use the piano in different places around the room.  As some of our Covid restrictions were lifted more and more of the students were able to use the keyboard.  This allowed for more creativity from the students.  All of our K-5 students were able to experience the keyboard at one time or another, possibly playing it or performing along with it.  As a special bonus, this keyboard will serve us for years to come and allow future students this opportunity.  It will be fun to watch this growth continue in the future!  As an added bonus, combining the use of this keyboard with the "Keyboards For Future Success" grant, every student at Lake Park Elementary School was able to use a keyboard all by themselves without having to share the keyboard experience and only get to play/learn part of the time.  This was an amazing experience!

Original Grant Overview

Goal

I would like the students at Lake Park Elementary School to enjoy the use and sounds of a modern keyboard.  

 

What will be done with my students

The electric keyboard will be used daily in class to assist the students with singing and listening. It will also be used to expose the students to creating their own sounds with the instrument. This may include creating an original accompaniment of their own and experimenting with sounds and rhythms. 

 

Benefits to my students

The students will understand the capabilities of an electronic keyboard and also see how some of the sounds that they hear in different types of media (TV, movies, commercials, etc.) are produced and altered. Even though this is a not high priced keyboard, it should give the students exposure to something that they are not familiar with. The table with wheels allows the keyboard to be used in different places in the music room and for performances around the school campus. 

 

Budget Narrative

Yamaha makes a quality keyboard which should last for years to come.
