  5. Day 1: Technology in the Music Classroom

  6. Popular reasons for not using technology in the grades K-8: • I do not have enough time to learn all of the software out there • It will replace a part of my music curriculum • My students are too young to use technology • I only have one computer…How could I possibly incorporate music technology into my elementary music classroom?

  7. Technology should enhance your music curriculum!“New technologies hold the key to improved music learning. If a teacher places the tools of technology into the students’ hands, it will guide them to active music making” (Rudolph, Richmond, Mash, & Williams, 1997, p. 1) • Pick your favorite unit and add a technological component • Do not build a unit around music technology • Instead… • Find one way to incorporate music technology into your favorite musical unit

  12. Music Technology in the Classroom • Crayons of Music Education • Yamaha Research: • Long and short term music achievement, as evidenced in standardized tests, is significantly increased when compared to existing approaches of classroom music. • Students who received hands-on instruction had greater comprehension of musical concepts compared with students taught with traditional approaches and methods. • Music instructions provided through a technology assisted program contributes to a sense of professional development and personal growth on the part of the music educators. • Additional outcomes of the study showed that technology improved student concentration, maximized time on-task, developed and enhanced cooperative learning, and fostered higher level thinking skills.

  13. 4. Composing and arranging music within specified guidelines. • Research with 2nd grade general music class • The EX2 showed the most statistical significant difference with a 48.7% increase in correct answers. EX1=16.7% and CG=46% increase in correct answers. • Music Ace and Finale NotePad

  14. Music Technology in the Classroom • Dr. Peter Webster The New Handbook of Research on Music Teaching and Learning (2002): • “So, is music technology effective and is it worth the trouble? On balance and on a very basic level, the answer to this question is yes. Does music technology hold the key for solving all our music teaching problems? Of course not. Are there abuses in its use? Absolutely. Does it always improve learning? No, much depends on the context--especially the teacher and its use instructionally. Is it worth the trouble to keep studying its role in music teaching and learning? Unconditionally, yes.”
