New Music Technology at RHS
October 25,2012
Ridgewood NJ , The District Supervisor of Fine & Applied Arts/Music Christopher McCullough and Music Teachers Jeffrey Haas and John Luckenbill gave a presentation on a new technology course at RHS on music production. Equipment and software has been added to the Mac Lab at the high school that enables students to compose and arrange music.
In addition, two software programs, “Garage Band” and “ProTools,” have been added to the music program, allowing students to edit and mix recordings. As part of the presentation, the teachers also introduced the “SmartMusic” software program now in use at RHS; this program is a web-based tool that allows students to practice and also be graded on instrumental performance.
