Music

I am a music teacher (preK-6) and I have been trying to get more technology into the classroom. What kind of software is available. I loved what I saw in the video.

Music software

Staff comment:

Hi Mario:

I'll have one of the Spiral Notebook bloggers make some recommendations on music software. Watch for a post in the next week or so at edutopia.org/spiralnotebook.

You might also consider contacting this school district and asking them what they are using.

Good luck!

I found this video to be exhilarating. I believe music can add to all areas of learning. Learning to read or play music aids in math skills, reading skills, coordination, etc. to name a few. I am currently starting my son on piano lessons to help him further his learning. Does anyone have any information regarding a curriculum to use like this one?
