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 .
