Smart Board in the Music Classroom

This was a very interesting article and I especially enjoyed the idea of including the smart board in the music classroom. I think that normally I focus more on the smart board as an asset for teaching science, or reading or math. It is interesting to include music in the mix. I was particularly intrigued by the different software programs designed for music such as Smart Music and Finale. I also liked the idea of setting up a rhythm lesson on the smart board for students to follow.

The teacher that wrote this article was very enthusiastic about what he was doing and it made me, as a reader excited about his discoveries and experiments as well. He also mentioned the idea that his use of technology allowed students that were not usually interested in music, to engage more. His actions also pleased the administration as well.
