Recenzje

In today's world, the presence of technology in teaching there has never been more essential tool for connecting, creating, and capturing student work. The integration of technology into the music classroom is no longer a fringe endeavor by a small group of tech geeks - the coming of age of technology in the music classroom has arrived. What Kuhn & Hein have put together in this publication is magnificent - an essential guide to not only how to build a technology-rich learning environment for music - what they call an Electronic Music School - but a well-crafted guide to how to teach in this new environment, why this type of learning is relevant, and practical strategies for continuing to engage students for years to come. Any music educator interested in incorporating more music technology into their instruction should add this book to their professional library immediately.
