Elementary Music/Music Technology Blog

Every year, my Pre-Kindergarten (PreK) and Kindergarten parade around the blacktop on Halloween morning. Last year, we recorded the songs we sung (during music class) so that parents who could not attend could hear their singing. We used my iPod with the voice recorder attached to it. You can hear them in two places:

2. http://www.amymburns.podomatic.com/

My students love to be recorded. When they successfully sing or perform an orffestration, they immediately ask me to record them. I have used my iPod voice recorder, or the Microtrack II, or the Blue microphone recording with GarageBand or Audacity, or the internal computer microphone with GarageBand or Audacity. Although they all produce different qualities, my elementary students love the immediacy of hearing their recorded performances.

I hope that you enjoy!
