Like you have to compose your own piece of music incorporating most of the things you learned? My classes would have contests with the high ranking earning additional points to their GPA. </p>ed2Wed, 15 Jul 2009 02:29:17 -0000http://andyzweibel.com/blog/2009/04/21/computers-keyboards-and-music/#comment-8686136<p>I actually already showed Dr. DeCarbo... he didn't make any significant comments about it, but did tell me I was a great writer :)</p><p>And there's no way on the planet I'm going to try to tackle class piano... that's just a beast that is not worth attempting to tame!</p>Andy ZweibelSat, 25 Apr 2009 12:05:48 -0000http://andyzweibel.com/blog/2009/04/21/computers-keyboards-and-music/#comment-8685952<p>when i took the class we had clavinova and korg experience, sibelius and finale, and a shorter unit on garage band. final was to recreate something using sibelius, if i recall correctly. excellent post. take it to gusman.</p><p>(can you tackle the class piano curriculum next? :p )</p>emmaSat, 25 Apr 2009 11:51:50 -0000http://andyzweibel.com/blog/2009/04/21/computers-keyboards-and-music/#comment-8649168<p>I definitely agree... Us in the music teaching profession must be able to cope up with all the technologies available to benefit our students, as well as to make us more effective and efficient educators. These <a href="http://www.musicteachershelp[er.com/blog/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.musicteachershelp[er.com/blog/">music teaching resources</a> enhance our effectiveness in handling our tasks.</p>music teacherFri, 24 Apr 2009 10:07:32 -0000http://andyzweibel.com/blog/2009/04/21/computers-keyboards-and-music/#comment-8561639<p>I agree completely, and I'm considering bringing this post to the department chair to propose a change in the curriculum for the class... we'll see how it's received here and how the last few weeks of the semester go!</p><p>Thanks for stopping by, Carol! So glad you enjoyed the post!</p>Andy ZweibelWed, 22 Apr 2009 00:20:17 -0000http://andyzweibel.com/blog/2009/04/21/computers-keyboards-and-music/#comment-8560885<p>This is an amazing post, It has so much to offer, I wish the "powers that be," would read this and take notice. We need to listen to the students as to what direction of music technology should take, they live it and we should as educators take notice. I particularly liked your additions to the curriculum, using new techie toys, software, and putting it all together for a final music tech project, A technology project, in my eyes, is not a tech project unless you use at least three different programs or toys.</p>Carol BroosTue, 21 Apr 2009 23:41:15 -0000http://andyzweibel.com/blog/2009/04/21/computers-keyboards-and-music/#comment-8553911<p>Nice post.
