My students live for the opportunity to create and achieve. We need new headphones to give them the chance to work at the keyboards and even pair up to create new music. That experience gives them confidence and that confidence carries over to other aspects of their lives. The tablets will allow them to use apps to sharpen their skills in music by using their beloved technology. We know that positive music experiences help our students to be critical thinkers and more confident young adults. We can continue to help our students to grow through technology. The more experiences that they can have, the better they will feel about their abilities. It is my hope that we can structure their learning in a way that will foster their belief in themselves as well as their thinking skills.
