super duper music looper take 2!

Since using super duper music looper in our ICT session my opinion is much changed. I found it very simple to use and it was easy to make a tune that sounded good even by just pressing random buttons. This would mean that even children who felt they were not particularly gifted in music could create an effective tune. I also have been frustrated by music because I am a perfectioninst and never felt I could get it right. Also I find it hard to know where to start when composing a piece of music. SDML solves my problems and makes music much more enjoyable and less frustrating for me! I am sure that the programme would have the same impact on children who have had less positive experiences of music lessons.

Music and ICT

Following the lecture about using ICT to teach music, I feel far more confident in being able to teach singing. I am of the view, as many are, that I can not sing! Teaching singing through ICT makes it more engaging and helps distract the teacher and pupils from their anxieties about singing in front of others.


I have experimented with using super duper music looper and found it simple to use and effective in creating a satisfying tune. I did find a few flaws in the programme; it took a long time to find a version I could download and when I did, it did not work. I also thought the tracks it allows you to make were very short. I searched the internet for alternative programmes and found jamstudio. This programme is slightly more complex but still relatively easy to use. It allows you to be more creative with tunes and introduces the idea of notes. Jamstudio would be best suited to yr 4-6 .
