May 11, 2021

Over the past couple of years, more and more schools have continuously cut funding for music programs around the country. This increase in budget cuts can be seen affecting students by not allowing students at a young age to be creative, which discourages them as they continue their education to think within boundaries consistently. The decline in music education was most drastic between 2003 – 2004 where there was a 46% decline in music programs across the country. As programs continue to get cut, this decline can be seen to be drastic, especially in states such as Oklahoma; our goal was to use the latest technology, specifically augmented reality, to create a free and interactive learning environment to bring back that ability to teach students of all ages music with no cost to them.
