Goal

The goal for this project is to complement the 1:1 laptop program here at YHS, so students that take a music class can use a midi piano instrument for music composition, and music training, that directly goes in as usable performance data in the muisc classroom. 

 

What will be done with my students

Each class will have access to a midi piano lab of 35 midi keyboards, that will give them a chance to create, perform, and practice their music in a variety of different software and Music Apps. Below are some examples.

Chorus- ear training and sight singing apps, that develop their internal pitch, reinforce music literacy

World Music- Music-making apps similar to Garage Band used to reproduce world music styles covered in class.

Music Technology- Music software used to reinforce keyboard skills, and music theory. Music making apps that allow for sound engineering, complete music production, and remixing

Band- ear training and sight singing apps, that develop their internal pitch, reinforce music literacy, and Apps for music composition. 

 

Benefits to my students

* It immediately impacts several students taking music class throughout the year

* Its use correlates with several standards for all of my classes

* for my music tech class, It is a way to respond to the rise of at-home musicians, giving students a structured way to discover, and improve on skills needed for the future

* Allows for several individual music projects, and creation, which means more students working in the upper level of Marzano's Taxonomy.
