The Future Of Audio Formats, Maybe It?s Just More Of The Same
2007-04-21 05:39:00
 Excerpt About This Great Article From MUSicTECHnology.Net "I was intrigued by a well written article by Jack Scofield in the Guardian Unlimited.  In it, he writes about the future of audio formats and what  is to come, in particulary he talks about MP3, WMA and AAC formats and their advantages and disadvantages. I?m a fan of lossless, uncompressed audio with no DRM, it sounds better and it?s easier to use.  There has been a lot of debate about DRM in the media lately, especially since a number of distributers have proposed dropping it altogether (EMI, etc). Whether or not DRM survives or thrives, the question about which audio format will succeed or conceed is an intersting topic to consider. With the advent of rapidly reduced costs and increased production of mega drives like the Hitachi terabyte hard drive,  new possible considerations begin to arise." [MORE] at MUSTECH.NET!

Bloggable Moment: ActivBoard and Jazz
2007-04-16 18:26:00
 Excerpt About This Great Article From MUSicTECHnology.Net "I  am so excited about a lesson that I (literally) just got finished teaching. My second (freshman and sophomore) jazz band was sight-reading and we were having a tough time with some very simple rhythms. The ?old school? teacher in my wanted them to count and clap, skill and drill, and LEARN BY ROTE??This is how it goes, kids?. WE DO THAT ENTIRELY TOO MUCH because it is way too easy. Think about it- do the kids REALLY learn when we count the rhythm for them and then have them say it back to us? The answer is NO, because there is no assessment. Then I had a thought- I could use my ActivBoard to illustrate the concept that I was trying to teach. Since we are on 90 minute blocks, I instructed my students to ?practice? at their seats while I prepared the lesson on the fly. In under 5 minutes I had scanned in my score, saved it to a .pdf, plugged in my laptop to my activboard and brought up the .pdf of the sectio...
