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)

Music Technology in the ClassroomMusic 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.

Music Technology in the ClassroomMusic 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.”
