My Project

Technology is such an intricate part of the music room. The students will use this Macbook Pro computer to run the music, control the keynote slides(only available on a mac), create new keynote presentations, play music play-along videos, make music play along videos, practice note reading through online music education games, use garage band, and so much more. The students will also use this computer for coding class which I also currently teach.

Please help because the computer may be one of the most important tools in my music classroom.

We need a new Macbook Pro and I wrote this project for a nice one that is powerful enough and has enough memory to serve multiple functions. I do have computers in my music room, but they are always PCs and many of the programs like keynote, Final Cut Pro, and Garage Band do not work on a PC. I have found that when I hit a roadblock on a PC, instead of spending countless hours trying to reinvent the wheel and depriving my students of my time preparing and teaching other valuable opportunities, I just skip over it. I don't want to do this anymore because I want both. I want to be able to prepare and teach effectively and efficiently, using a fast and reliable machine to utilize for everything that I want to teach. It's a win-win situation for all.
