The "Bach-n-Roll" mobile music workstation is a project designed by Easley and Burd to advance range of ability skills of students at Gardner-Edgerton High School. The interactive musical experience will engage students through singing, keyboard instructions, and musical composition. While improving musical skills, "Bach-n-Roll" will assist students' reading and math development, along with historical research and social skills. Students will receive immediate feedback after completing an assessment. General education and special education classrooms will have access to "Bach-n-Roll" including students not participating in traditional music programs due to social anxiety, communication deficiency, or being unable to perform musically at a high school level. Easley resides in Olathe and Burd lives in Gardner.
