From the South Orange-Maplewood School District:
The Columbia High School Music Technology Lab was updated and expanded this Summer 2019. Fine Arts Supervisor James Manno collaborated with Soundtree in designing the new CHS Music Technology Lab space. SoundTree, the educational division of Korg USA, helps provide educators with innovative ways to teach music in a group environment.
Soundtree is the leader in music technology in education, and also provides expert advice and services for the Pro Audio, Video, Dance, Language Lab, and Classroom Technology needs of educators.
The new Music Technology Lab arrangement increased seating capacity by two additional workstations and includes a teacher control station where the music instructor can access and listen in on all student stations, provide a lecture via headset, and link students to each other for partner and group learning experiences.
Students will use Apple iMac computers and M-Audio Keyboard Controllers to interface with GarageBand and Ableton Live music software to execute the course curriculum. ProTools software is also available for more complex music production projects.
Columbia High School students are very excited about learning how to use the gear and creating with it.
