Music, Education, and Technology

These days, the resources for music educators to get up-and-running with a technology-infused curriculum are vast. There are online courses, books, magazines, Web sites, workshops, and even organizations soley devoted to helping music educators become technologically savvy and avail themselves to the tools of technology for the music classroom. As Andrew Surmani, Vice President at Alfred Publishing believes teachers must always remain up-to-date on discovering and implementing the newest technologies in the classroom because today’s youth are growing up with technology as a constant factor in their lives.
