Digital Authoring

Here is a link to a really great article on digital authoring from NAfME and the University of Nebraska – Lincoln. The article gives some great insight on how to use an iPad in a music classroom in ways that I would never have thought of!

Two ways you can use an iPad in a music classroom:

1. A scrolling image with music is a great way to watch a score go by with music, or to have the class play along with an accompaniment track.

2. Use GarageBand to create an ostinato. Students can use their classroom instruments to improvise or play a melody by rote over a teacher-created accompaniment.

Hope this gives you some classroom ideas!
