Easy sharing for Music Technology Educators
Have you come across Zotero? If you haven’t it is a plugin for Firefox that I could not do without. It allows you to collect your web resources together in one place, synchronize them between computers, add notes, even store related PDFs, files, images, and links in your library. You can then use the Zotero [...]
Recordings in the classroom without the hassle
In case you haven’t come across Spotify, I thought I would pass on the word. For some time now I have been using Spotify, which is in internet based service that provides instant access to a library of music. For example, say you want a recording of a Beethoven quartet…search for “Beethoven Quartet” and 2217 [...]
Misa guitar – the future just round the corner?

Jamstudio 2.0
Jamstudio is a flash based ‘online music factory’ (according to the homepage). In fact it feels a bit like a cross between ejay and ‘band in a box’. Several recent articles havehighlighted the benefits of these technologies and their usefulness in classroom situations (For e-jay see Dillon 2004; 2007; Gall & Breeze, 2008). So I’m [...]
