Professional music software has slowly been making its way in to the middle and high school music and music technology classroom. Music teachers use the software as a tool in teaching techniques of recording, arranging and MIDI programming as well as the concepts of basic music theory. With the help of many of these applications teachers have begun to develop a music technology curriculum enabling schools to develop recording clubs and labels as well as podcasts and other audio based media. This course is designed to provide educators with an overview of the available technology and direct instruction on the industry’s most popular applications, such as Pro Tools LE, Logic, Sibelius, Finale, and Garage Band. Integration into a school’s computer lab or music studio will also be discussed. Class is held in a state-of-the-art lab with each student having their own workstation.
