Put Them in the Driver's Seat: Music Tech for Student Ownership

Presented by Theresa Hoover & Kathryn Finch

Time: Monday July 12, 10:00 EDT (Eastern Daylight Time)

When students have ownership over their music making, the experience is more meaningful and long-lasting. As music teachers, there are many ways we can put students in the driver’s seat to help them on the road to finding this ownership and becoming lifelong musicians. This session will focus on tech tools that music teachers can use in a variety of settings to give students voice and choice, encourage them to create music, establish connections outside the classroom, and ultimately take ownership of their learning.

During this session:

-Participants will understand what it means for students to have ownership in the music classroom.

-Participants will learn about various tech tools they can use in the music classroom to promote student ownership.

-Participants will experience several strategies to use in their own classrooms.
