Performing and Experimenting with Music Technology for Music Qualifications

This session will look at ideas for how to utilise Music Tech as a performance and composition tool, with a focus and examples from the IB Music course but which can be used with many other exam courses.

Many exam courses (Including IB) now allow students to perform using Music Technology, so we will look at some examples of student work with a live demonstration of how a high quality performance can be achieved using inexpensive and accessible equipment to many music teachers and students.

The session will also look at how students can experiment with music technology and show high-level composition skills by using techniques such as: quantising, compression, filters and sampling to secure high marks, rather than the more traditional composition elements of harmony and melody.

Our Students Played Too Loud, So We Did This... (Silent Classroom Secrets)

The Roland HS-5 is discontinued. The Jam Hub is dead. What do we do now? 

Join Pete Orenstein as he leads a discussion with expert music educators as they address one of music education’s most persistent challenges: managing sound levels in the music classroom. Drawing from decades of classroom experience, our panel explores how post-jam hub silent rehearsal technologies have transformed their teaching environments, from entry-level USB interfaces to professional-grade digital mixing solutions.

The session examines practical implementations of silent rehearsal spaces across varying budgets, demonstrating how these innovations improve student focus, enhance individual practice, and revolutionise ensemble rehearsals. Panelists will share their experiences integrating digital audio interfaces, virtual instrument modeling, and monitoring systems into their curriculum, offering concrete strategies for teachers looking to create more controlled, effective learning environments.

From addressing noise complaints to improving practice efficiency, this discussion provides actionable insights for music educators seeking to create active musical experiences in the music classroom.

AI enhanced songwriting for educators

Stay one step ahead in the classroom with creative technology

This one-hour interactive workshop is designed specifically for high school music and music technology teachers. It demonstrates practical, cutting-edge AI tools integrated into songwriting workflows – tools your students may already be using behind the scenes and without knowledge of intellectual property issues.

This concise and engaging, hands-on workshop not only introduces AI tools into your classroom, transforming these secretive practices into classroom innovations that foster creative inspiration, but also addresses the critical issues of IP and plagiarism, ultimately empowering educators to lead in today’s dynamic musical landscape.

Objectives:
Demonstrate Practical AI Applications: Show how AI tools can serve as creative aids rather than complete songwriting solutions.

Enhance Classroom Relevance: Equip educators with hands-on strategies to integrate AI tools already available in Logic Pro and other DAW’s, alongside dedicated AI plugins and web apps that can add huge value and speed to workflow.

Address IP & Plagiarism Concerns: Emphasize ethical usage and legal compliance, turning potential pitfalls into opportunities for informed, creative curation.

Key Discussion Points:
AI as a Creative Catalyst: Taking ownership of AI tools to inspire and assist rather than replace the artist’s originality.

Ethical & Legal Considerations: IP rights, proper attribution, and the pitfalls of plagiarism – arming educators with the knowledge to enforce responsible practices in their classrooms.

Using YouTube as an educational tool in the music classroom

Beaming in live from Las Vegas, USA, Tyler Swick will demonstrate methods for keeping engagement high with short, relevant videos from student entry to exit. Welcome songs, performance demonstrations, tuning, and warm-ups should all be recorded and played for the class so that the teacher can accomplish secondary tasks like taking attendance and taking care of last-minute student needs. 

Swick will share all of the YouTube hotkeys, settings, and Chrome extensions that help YouTube feel like an educational tool instead of just a television. Slowing videos down, displaying large captions, and even changing the key signature of songs can all be done with a few clicks. 

Be inspired to find YouTube videos that fit your classroom needs or create content of your own that matches your routines precisely. Choose whether your creations are seen by the world or just your students. Swick’s YouTube channel, Swick’s Classroom, started as a resource for his own students but now has 36,000 subscribers, averaging 25,000 views a day.

Beyond the play button: Reimagining Music Performance with Technology

As digital music-making becomes commonplace among students, music teachers play a vital role in guiding young musicians to use technology to create compelling, musically engaging performances. What knowledge is essential for effectively teaching music technology, and how can educators keep pace with its rapid evolution? Despite the overwhelming range of new tools, there are common approaches that artists and educators can apply to ensure that musicality remains at the core of technology integration.

In a music education system that often values mastery of repertoire as a mark of achievement, how can technology-focused performances meet assessment criteria? And how can we fairly benchmark “technology-heavy” performances against those using traditional instruments?

In this workshop, experienced music technology teacher and Ableton’s Education Development Manager, Matt Ridgway, will unpack these questions, provide practical strategies teachers can implement, and offer insights into supporting students as they perform with technology in ways that highlight their musicality.

Demystifying recording and mixing techniques for music teachers

No longer do you need to spend a lot of money hiring a professional studio for recording and mixing students bands to a high standard. The tools are now cheap and easily accessible to anyone with a decent laptop. However, most teachers don’t have a background in recording and mixing, and feel inadequate when it comes to helping students produce their original compositions to the highest quality possible.

In this session, Duncan will share his experience of what has worked well for numerous albums and recording sessions he has done with his students with guidelines of how you can use the resources you probably already have in your department to get your student work up on Spotify and sounding great.

Empowering teachers and learners through online learning

Imagine working from home, delivering your lessons online 2-3 days a week. Your students are autonomous learners. You have no lessons to prepare. Your time at a physical school provides opportunities for collaborating with colleagues or providing the fun stuff like bands, orchestra, shows etc. Your face to face teaching may be multi level and targeted as synchronous or asynchronous. You could have a great work life balance which accommodates yours and your families needs.

Meet Belinda Carey, the lead teacher for music at Te Kura, New Zealand’s largest school with 30,000 online students across the globe. In this seminar, Belinda will explore how online learning can empower both teachers and learners by combining the best elements of digital platforms and technologies with culturally responsive pedagogy.

Could this be the potential new reality?

What You’ll Learn:

  • The unique aspects of teaching music online and how they could empower you and your students in a face to face school.
  • Strategies for caring for and engaging students in an online environment.
  • The tools and platforms we use to enhance learning.
  • Adapting to synchronous and asynchronous learning models.
  • Flourishing in an AI-driven world.
  • How we can all thrive in an evolving educational landscape
