Music technology is becoming increasingly prevalent in our student’s musical cultures, so it’s only logical to support their endeavors and get on with learning about it ourselves.

We also wanted to try and address the lack of composition being taught in high school music and provide suggestions and guides to help other music educators in introducing composition to their classrooms in a non-threatening, enjoyable manner. As well as creating lessons and music programs which cater to our student’s interests so as to keep them engaged well on into the 21st century, hopefully increasing the unfortunately low percentage of high school students who continue studying music into their senior years despite all of them considering music to be an essential part of their identity. These include the accessibility of music education – this being in regards to the various socioeconomic statuses of our students and breaking down the belief that there are “musical versus non-musical” students. This project was undertaken because two music educators held similar values and felt very strongly on particular matters in music education.
