Creative Music Making at Your Fingertips

Music education scholars and practitioners provide eleven chapters of tried-and-true strategies for using mobile devices in a variety of contexts, from general music education to ensembles and from K-12 to college classrooms. Drawing on their own experiences with bringing mobile devices and different music apps into the classroom, contributors show how these technologies can be turned into tools for teaching performance, improvisation, and composition. Their practical advice on how pedagogy and mobile technologies can be aligned to increase students' creative engagement with music and help them realize their musical potential makes this an invaluable resource for music educators who want to be at the forefront of pedagogical transformations made possible by 21st-century technologies.
