Technology in Music Education

Catalog description

The primary intention of this course is to provide a framework in which students can develop a standards-based, research and theory supported technology curriculum integration project appropriate to a determined level of music teaching circumstances. Through the development of the curriculum project, students will develop music software and hardware skills and apply them to the preparation of lesson plans to integrate technology into music teaching. The course will result in a plan (and supporting teaching materials) to be presented to school colleagues for the integration of technology into the music curriculum. A secondary goal of this course is to provide students with a working knowledge of teaching strategies, sound equipment, electric/electronic instruments, and music creation software appropriate for use in public music education. The course is limited to Music Education students with admission to Teacher Education.
