Reflection of the unit

When I first entered this class in week 1, I was honestly a bit unsure if I would enjoy this unit. Being a classically trained pianist, all of this technology was very new and scary. Lol I only heard about Ableton a couple weeks ago. Now on the other end, I think this unit is such an important class that every person studying to become a music teacher must take!! Technology is becoming more prominent in the music classroom so it is necessary for teachers to learn how to use all kinds of technology.

I had so much fun learning about different opportunities we can give our students to learn about music through technology. Transforming the classroom through technology will definitely make students more eager to participate in activities. Through technology, music becomes more fun, as explored in week 12 with Brad Fuller – why have students do paperwork to learn about music? Students should learn about music through playing or creating music! Project based learning.

I feel extremely grateful to able to take this course (thanks to all teachers that shared their expertise over the semester :D) and I am very excited to see such talented people sharing their skills with future students!
