Today I am heading to DC for the Music Education Week in Washington DC. The Music Technology Academy, being held at the Marriott Crystal Gateway, Arlington, VA, on Saturday and Sunday looks to be a wonderful collaboration of teachers and companies that utilize or sell music technology tools to enhance music classrooms. The panel that I am on will meet on Sunday, June 21 at 9:00 am. Our topic:
OPENING PLENARY: Software for Music Creation
From Sibelius to GarageBand, today’s leading music creation programs blur the line between performance, composition, recording, and notation. This panel discusses how these programs work and suggests ways to employ them in the music classroom.
Moderator: Pete Jutras, assistant professor of piano, University of Georgia and editor of Clavier Companion
Panelists: Amy Burns, music teacher, Far Hills Country Day School, Far Hills, NJ; Estelle Roth, instrumental music teacher, Patrick Henry Elementary School, Arlington, VA; Barbara Freedman, electronic music and audio engineering teacher, Greenwich High School, Greenwich, CT
I will be demonstrating and speaking about how I use Sibelius’s Groovy Music, Subotnick’s World of Music, Apple’s GarageBand, and Finale’s NotePad in the PreK-Grade 3 general music classroom. I will also be showing my students’ works using most of these programs. Finally, I will be podcasting the session and you will be able to listen to the podcast on my Podomatic site.
Viewing the schedule for the two days, I am excited to see sessions on copyright, music technology in all grade levels, music recording, electronic instruments, making a case for creating standards for music technology, and more. It should be an excellent two days. I will report back on Monday.
