Pedagogy Rationale Education reform is sweeping across the political landscape. Standards are being created to address these concerns. The timing couldn't be better. Just when parents and school boards are upping the ante, music technology has been developed to meet our emerging needs. And, students are ready and eager to jump on the bandwagon.
Most students have a natural attraction to technology because of the music and graphics.
In a music lab situation of one or more computers, you can offer them a multiplicity of software applications from which students can practice several music standards. A single teacher in the traditional non-technology classroom could not hope to accomplish this. Students with their diverse and unique interests can learn independently and at their own speed at your computer workstation. The world of keyboard instruction has seen marvelous innovations with the new media labs. The teacher can electronically communicate with a single student or group of students.
