The Sound of Music (and Technology) — from Edweek.org by Ian Quillen
While technology and music are usually thought of in a commercial sense, Bauer highlighted [at the ISTE 2010 Conference] resources that can help students compose, perform, and respond to music in academic settings, and even, on occasion, serve as a bridge between music and other areas of study.
Some tools mentioned include:
- Apple’s Garage Band
- Musescore
- Noteflight
- The San Francisco Symphony’s kids website, which offers interactive musical content
- An online tuner or metronome, downloading Audacity to record and self-evaluate performances, or logging onto the Project Gutenberg‘s sheet music database to print out free scores. There are even online video tutorial databases like the Michael Hopkins String Pedagogy Notebook.
