Often educators are asked to justify their reasoning for integrating technology into the curriculum. Music technology falls under even more scrutiny.
Many people question whether research supports investing in technology for the classroom.
To answer these questions, look to the research that has been performed on the subject. Enrollments increased in band, chorus and orchestra programs. Classroom teachers reported improvements in keyboarding, problem solving, creativity, evaluation, attendance, self-esteem, and diminished class management problems. Lectures were replaced with coaching. Less emphasis was placed on tests and more on products and work produced.
