  • MMED 725 Lights, Camera, Learning! Video Projects in Music Education



    3 credits 42.0 hours
    700 level graduate course

    Lights, Camera, Learning! Video Projects in Music Education. Let’s face it: from YouTube to Netflix
    to a host of other services, today’s learners are immersed in and respond to video! This timely
    course for music educators of all levels/areas will be divided between two significant uses for
    video in music education today: 1) Producing compelling videos for students such as video
    lecturettes, tutorials, and performances, etc. Maybe you want to make clear for students the
    motions to a classroom song, the choreography to a concert selection, or the recorder fingerings
    used in class. Perhaps you want to explain how to assemble a clarinet mouthpiece, oil one’s trumpet
    valves, or illustrate several key marching band fundamentals. Maybe you want to show students the
    basic features of an app, how to build major and minor scales, or the steps for a class project.
    All these and much more can be accomplished with today’s simple, intuitive video tools. 2) Using
    engaging video scoring activities with students to teach many important musical concepts. The
    lessons that can be conveyed through both simple and more sophisticated video scoring projects are
    myriad. Students of all levels can explore musical creativity and the interaction of drama
    and music/sound when they begin with a short video clip and add/edit either pre-recorded music
    and sound effects, loop-based multi-track arrangements, or more traditional notation-based
    underscoring. All of the above and much more can be accomplished with just a few accessible,
    intuitive apps/websites and some fairly ubiquitous hardware (i.e. computer/laptop,
    smartphone, iPad). The educational value of video projects in music education is so high and the
    tools to do so have never been more within the reach of even a novice.

  • MMED 728 Garageband Does It All



    3 credits 45.0 hours
    700 level graduate course

    GarageBand is an easy-to-learn musical workhorse with dozens of great uses for teachers and students. What’s more…it’s lots of fun! Want your students to enjoy composing original music or making arrangements? How about getting them excited about music history as they make podcasts rather than boring traditional reports? Wouldn’t it be great to see students have fun improvising, or creating a musical underscoring with sound effects for a video? Want to make quality recordings of individuals or an ensemble without a complicated microphone scheme? Want a great way to demonstrate musical concepts such as form, dynamics, articulation, tempo, and texture so students really understand? Need to prepare sound clips for a PowerPoint presentation or webpage, blog, or wiki? GarageBand does all this and much more! Perhaps that’s why many music teachers name this program as the technology tool they use most. In this course for general, vocal/choral, and instrumental music teachers at all levels, we’ll explore and experience the many uses for Apple’s GarageBand. Each year the program adds more features and functionality; so even if you’ve used GarageBand before there’s bound to be something that’ll make you see the program in a new way. The course will be taught in a Mac lab using GarageBand, but Windows-equivalent software and adaptations will be discussed.
