Technology Retreat. Students are usually doubled up with a maximum of 24 allowed. Two special custom cases make moving the
entire lab a snap. The school district needs
simply to provide the classroom, tables and chairs, and of course help
in setting things up and tearing things down.
"Using
Technology to Complete the CBPA's"
Washington state
music teachers are required by law to implement Classroom Based
Performance Assessments (CBPA's) to all 5, 8, and 10th
grade music students beginning in January 2008. The focus of this 1
day in-service is to demonstrate ways of using music technology to
complete this task. Teachers will input an original composition into a
computer (provided) using Sibelius software, printout the piece,
perform it "live" and have that performance video taped. The
video is then imported back into Sibelius so that both
the original composition and the video of the performance may be
viewed (assessed) at the same time. A master copy of the
course text is mailed to the district and copies are made for each
attending participant.
"Composing
Music with a Computer"
This 1 day in-service explores the
workings of either Sibelius or Finale music composing
software's and is based on the district's choice. A series of in class assignments are given,

National Standards. A master copy of the
course text is mailed to the district and copies are made for each
attending participant.
