The goal of this project is to provide music
education through technology-based
learning. The program would include
purchasing 25 midi keyboards for the
computers in the lab that include software for
composition and computer based music.
With this and the Groovy Music Software, I
plan to teach each class basic music
concepts, notes and notation, musical terms
theory and basic keyboarding. Involving
the "whole child" in the arts gradually
teaches many types of literacy, while
developing intuition, sensitivity, reasoning,
imagination, and dexterity. Music technology
will help enhance the curriculum and
differentiate instruction. I will be bringing
harmony into the technology lab through
music education and technology. This will
surely “strike a chord “with our students.
