I don't recommend buying a preamp for a soundblaster really. External

getting a decent sound card that has a decent preamp instead of putting
a ferrari engine in a an old VW bug!
Check out the presonus firebox, they are good cards with surprisingly
good preamps for the price. The inputs on a soundblaster are really not
very good and the improvement in signal from your external preamp would
be wasted.

Yes.
Thank you for your reply, that gives me enough information to go on.
The purpose is to allow the students to practice, not for recording. I
shall be buying a preamp today.
