Successful musical rehearsal skills must be implemented by performing musicians. We, as teachers, need to provide opportunities for successful skill and knowledge “rehearsal” to insure long-lasting retention and achievement of our National and State Music Standards, as well as, our districts’ music curricula. Student engagement, visual and aural reinforcement, and intrinsic motivation are just some of the benefits of systematic, technology integration in our music classrooms. But teachers also benefit by reducing their administrative obligations, enjoying new forms of collaborative possibilities, and opportunities for teacher growth. Think of the “UNLIMITED” opportunities ahead for your student and for you, as you boost your teaching effective-ness, while “Integrating Technology with Music Instruction.”

3. Teaching music is like
♫We try to get them to
their destination (of
musical achievement)
without losing any of
them.
♫Sometimes you suffer a few scratches…and
♫You have to keep the classroom door
closed… one might get away.
