   •  Will be using New Jersey Core Curriculum standards

for pedagogical curriculum   • Will also integrate the New Jersey Technology

standards in the classroom using different sources of music technology for students to explore http://eamir.org/ 

Juxtaposition of Music and Technology• Using the "Finale 2010" program

  •  Using eamir.org to explore interface programs that

connect with 21st century skills and interests of students!

  • Establishing knowledge of "Garage band" program

  • Exploring recording devices

 

Music Technology continued...

• By mixing music and technology, students will get to explore many different angles of music education

 •  This intern will help students connect with other

technological skills and life skills that they will face in other subject areas

 • They will be able to transfer their technology skills

smoothly and keep up with the forever growing technology in the world

 • And, they will be learning in a fun and creative way

to use technology!

knowledgeable with recording devices to record themselves playing their instrument and record groups or ensembles

• They will be able to generate mp3, CD, and other audio sounds for other students

Activities!!!!

• With music theory and basic composition skills I will teach the students, they will generate their own compositions

• After they have created a simple composition for a few instruments/students they will arrange the music on "Finale" for specific instruments (like flute, trumpet etc)

• They will produce copies of their arrangement for a group of students and play for the class

• Other groups will be in charge of recording these small musical concerts and producing a CD from it 

• Other students can add virual acoustics or electronic beats to the compostion, etc by exploring "Garage Band" or even "EAMIR"

 

In Conclusion

• Many new devices and skills are driven and function through technology. 

• These different programs will support the creative music making process and enable students to find more connections to today's "technological world"

• All of these programs are assessable to students, parents, faculty, and more so please feel free to explore them and ask me any questions!
