IMPACT Conference 2017

Teachers and students have the unprecedented ability to connect with professional musicians as a way to augment and intensify their music education experience. In this session we will explore methods, pedagogy and technology tools that put students at the center of their creative exploration and gives them access to professional ensembles. We will cover YCIW’s pedagogy and curriculum, NYU Musedlab’s innovative instruments like aQEWRTYon and others, as well as the more standard web tools Noteflight and Soundtrap. The session will feature real world student examples from students, teachers and ensembles from around the US and beyond. Session participants are encouraged to bring a laptop and take part in an interactive activity. Our aim will be to impart actionable items that both teachers and professional ensembles can use as part of their work.
