There are three main reasons why these iPads will help our music students. First, these iPads will allow students to engage in self-directed learning. This will allow them to learn at their own pace and free me up to provide customized teaching to those that might need me for individualized attention. Second, iPads will help students who are visual learners because many piano teaching apps, such as "Piano Maestro", use engaging graphics and other visual displays to make learning easier, exciting and fun. Third, iPads will give us more extensive and convenient access to learning materials such as sheet music in different levels, theory materials, technique exercises, sight reading exercises and so forth.
