My Project

Our students interests are changing, and that includes their interest in music! We are making changes for the coming school year to our 8th grade general music class (Music Exploration) to include the use of music technology with digital composition using Digital Audio Workstations.

There are a number of project plans available from talented and experienced music educators on Teachers Pay Teachers.

We'd like to utilize some of these resources as a starting point for our new curriculum. This will help us to organize our class in a way that is logical and meets the needs of our music learners.
