I'm so excited to currently be in the process of moving into our new music building! All the new practice rooms, band room, and choir room were just what this music program needed to keep it afloat!
However, to keep this program up and running in today's modern times, there's a plethora of technologies i would like to implement into the classrooms. Here's my Santa List of a sort to our administration:
To start things off, a TV. Simple, I know, but still a quintessential staple in any classroom, whether to watch movies on the Alamo or to watch a video of Canada Brass's latest concert.
A stereo with a surround sound system installed. An obvious item for any music classroom to play recordings of our latest concert, rock out to a Joplin Rag in music appreciation, or raise goosebumps with a gregorian chant from the Dark Ages in music history.
Simple recording equipment. In any ensemble, practice makes perfect. And perfection is much easier to obtain when we can record and play back our mistakes.
And my big ticket item: a computer with Smart Music and the latest version of Sibelius installed. Those two programs are invaluable to any band or choir program, no matter what stage the students are at.
