Music Technology Moving Forward – VanderCook College of Music – More details coming soon

We’re almost a quarter of the way through the twenty-first century and technology is no longer something new for music educators. However, are we always using tech in the most meaningful ways? This course will examine how music educators can use technology not to replace what they are already doing, but enhance the curriculum, extend the learning, and emphasize the artistic process. We will explore a variety of resources, including notation applications, digital audio workstations (DAWs), performance assessment tools, virtual reality, and more.
