There use to be a time if you wanted to be successful in band, it meant carrying around a variety of equipment. You would need a metronome, a turner, and maybe a tape recorder. These were costly and likely you would be lost at some point. There’s a process when teaching students how to prepare for a marching band show. This process helps them be more successful and help them create a better experience for a performance. Technology has created a solution that’s takes all those things needed in the process to become a better performer and put it all in one spot. It’s not unusual for me to request a student write something but they forgot a pencil, but if I ask them to make a note in the mobile phone, they always have that. Using a iPad, I can show them apps they have access to that will make it easier for them to learn what they need to learn. Apps such as ultimate drill book and pyware can help them learn a half time show easily and efficiently. There are apps such as smart music and tonal energy that can be used has a resource to help them with he music learning process form. The ipad could also be used to record video and audio of practices and performances that we can show the students on a tv via air play, just like a coach reviews plays with the team after a game. The iPad is an all in one resource that could be used to service the students using technology they are familiar with and bring the process of learning for their marching band performance up to date.
