You Want me to do What?: Teaching Digital Beat Making in Your Music Classroom

Music technology changes fast, but the opportunities to enhance creative thinking in your music classroom with digital beat making are vast! As a significant portion of our students now listen and make music using digital technology, this session will offer examples of software for creating beats in your classroom. We will explore activities that incorporate beat making experiences for your students in all contexts, including general music classrooms, ensemble spaces, and even ideas for integrating student created beats into formal concerts. Come and experience the exciting possibilities of expanding your students’ musicianship using accessible and easy-to-use music technology in your classroom. Hands-on and practical applications for beat making will be provided for participants.
