Lyon Music Teacher Webpage
"Technology is used within the classroom to combine oral and visual
learning styles. Students can compose music on Finale Notepad,
or similar web sites and hear it played back for them. Students
can also independently explore the many different instruments of
the orchestra and immediately hear them played back through interactive
web sites. In Music class,a Mimeo mouse and projector have been
utilized to create class compositions and to draw up and down melodies
for Kindergartners in an interactive, immediate learning environment.
Garage Band is used to hear and assess their own performances and
explore various sound effects. "
