Topic 1: The best ICT tools to assist in Music Education
Tools for teaching music education do not necessarily all have to come from the internet, and indeed these software options are the most specific for teaching music theory, history and basic musicianship skills – and from my point of view, inspires the stronger connection between teacher and student.
Like any subject, musicianship requires constant training and retraining, through drills, application, and practice. The intent of Musicianship Basics, Aurelia and Musition are to provide drill activities for a wide range of students. Both adults and children can benefit from the programs and one does not need a MIDI keyboard to use this program.
Because these programs are mainly WRONG or RIGHT answers etc – it makes it perfect for the teacher to get involved in the cognitive approach; here the teacher can monitor the kids’ relationship with the technology by guiding the students through the questions and reminding them WHY an answer may be wrong or right. (If an answer is wrong, the program will say so, but although most likely give an explanation underneath, most don't explain WHY. So this is where the teacher’s role should become most dominant, and important.)
