Technology in the Music Classroom
Presented by Victor LaBozzetta, Apple
Computer, Jason Panucci, SoundTree
Technology permeates every facet of our
lives. As educators, we know its impact on education is
staggering. Since technology changes so quickly it's often
difficult to decide which products are most useful. What
media, hardware and software will work together most
effectively? What tools will best suit your needs and add
most to teaching and making music?
GarageBand, part of Apple's
iLife ’08 suite of digital authoring applications, provides
an incredibly easy, affordable, and exciting way to bring
music and podcasting into the classroom. With GarageBand,
students of all ages can create original songs, produce
media-rich podcasts, develop background music for their
digital movies and slideshows, and capture oral readings for
assessment. GarageBand brings a new dimension in learning to
projects in all subject areas. Students can view and print
full musical notation of their compositions, add them as
soundtracks for their digital projects, or export them to
iTunes and create their own music CDs.
