Music and Super Duper Music Looper

I came away from the music and ICT lecture on monday feeling more confident about teaching music with the aid of ICT. I have never felt particully happy about singing infront of anyone however it is something you accept you have to do infront of children and unforntunatly other adults as part of the teaching profession. If I was able to use something like the recording and words on the IWB to sing along with it, it would make me far more relaxed about having to so it. Other programs for recording the pupils singing and playing music would also be good for lessons as they could sing to their own creations.



This week our directed task was to create the intro jingle to the pod casts. The software we used was SuperDuperMusicLooper. I am not very good at music i dont have a very musical ear and I thought I would find this task really hard because of it. When we were given the software I found it really easy to access and start using. The program was so easy to use we had created a little tune in a matter of mins.


I think this software would be good for pupils in the classroom as it is so easy to use. Pupils of all ages could access it with minimal input from the teacher. They would enjoy these freedoms. The program also has a record fuction which can be used by very young children to record a short clip of them playing an instrument. They can then looop this in the program which will help them keep the beat for other instruments they are playing. There are so many different lessons and uses this program has in school, I cant wait to use it with pupils.
