Hello, I am a music teacher in an elementary school. Because of limited funding it can be difficult to have access to many instruments. Currently my classroom only has access to 4 xylophones and each classroom has roughly 25 to 30 students. This makes it very difficult to perform whole class instruction on melodic instruments without students having to wait for a turn or not getting a turn at all with an instrument. Using iPads in the music room would allow all of my students in grades K-5 to have access to a virtual instrument as well as many music apps which will improve their musical abilities. These iPads will help students to learn about many musical ideas such as scales, solfege, World Music, and Instrument Families as well as many more. These iPads would also be great for when we do music centers in the classroom. Technology in the music classroom would also greatly help my students that are visual learners as well because music apps such as Prodigies Bells use color coded bells that will help my students who are ASD and also students with learning disabilities. Also many of my students are ESL students and I believe more access to technology in my classroom will also help these students develop more musical terminology in the English language.
