iPad “Givens”
• The iPad and related tablet technologies are hear to stay
• The laptop is in its final stage of viability
• Media is now redefined, repackaged and reproduced
• As a “disruptive innovation”, tablet computers will drastically change education over the next 5 years

iPad in the Band Room
• iPad usage in the band room– Teaching
• Presentation technologies• Student “consumption” device
– News– Media
• Student creative tool facilitating/reinforcing concepts, knowledge and skills
![Page 8: I pad teaching tool or trendy toy](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062513/5556442fd8b42aa41e8b4697/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
iPad in the Band Room
• iPad usage in the band room– Administrative Tool– Conductor’s Assistant
• iPad/Apple TV vs. SmartBoardNOTE: I highly recommend the Apple TV combined with a TV monitor
or projector. This, combined with iOS 5 creates ultimate freedom in the classroom environment.

QuickTime™ and a decompressor

Pitch Trainer
•The Harmonizer was designed to make it easy to give young children exposure to pitch identities
•The colors serve to identify pitches before the acquisition of language.
•The touch interface is large enough that it can be controlled by children with rudimentary motor skills.
Chord Relationship Tutor
•Due to the orthogonal arrangement of pitches on the Harmonizer, chord progressions all have the same "shape" regardless of transposition.
