I will use these technology materials to help students use and practice music skills and knowledge through technology that is relevant to them. Students would love to create and play music of their very own, or to be given opportunity to discover how to play a favorite song. These tools will aid students in incorporating technology, coding, and SEL regularly into our music classroom routine. With the Makey-Makeys, students can create their own piano keyboard, using their choice of conductor to make the piano keys. This could be anything from fruit to aluminum foil and much more. This gives students their own unique instrument to create whatever they choose. Possibly a commercial jingle, or video game music. Makey-Makeys would be a great thing for students to check out and take home over a weekend to practice finger patterns on piano if they don’t have access to one at home. Specdrums will make great connections for students starting out in music and developing listening skills as they physically touch colors and hear the pitches they make, higher and lower. I would love to place a scale of colors from the floor to ceiling (literally) and let them experience playing sounds on those colors. I would also like to use these to incorporate more Social-Emotional Learning in our music room. Students could press a ring to a color/zone and hear music that correlates to how they are feeling. For example, students in the Red Zone (feeling upset and pushed to their limits) could select the red with their ring and hear a clashing dissonant chord. Another student may press the Green Zone (feeling at ease) and hear a pleasant major chord. Students needing time to re-regulate could take the rings and create some personal music that fits their emotions.
