As technology is changing and becoming more prevalent in schools I want to make sure music stays up with the rush. Afterall, our school goal is for a 1:1 ratio of devices to students. Where words fail, music speaks. Music is such an intrinsic love for me and I hope to pass that along to all of my students. But not everyone learns or responds the same. Currently we are able to play rhythm instruments, explore drumming, and use our space to move and feel the music. The addition of the iPads will allow for another medium to explore and experience. There are apps to sharpen composition and aural skills, to dive into world music, and study various composers and influential musicians. I hope these iPads will lead to rigorous independent research as well as allow for peer collaboration and sharing. They will be versatile enough to allow all grade levels access with age appropriate activities and apps.
