The recent explosion of music-specific apps has resulted in a
flood of innovative interfaces, microphones, and other peripherals that turn an
already-powerful tablet into a
synth, a rhythm programmer, or even a full-on music production studio. The advent of affordable peripheral hardware makes it possible to take full advantage of these tools in your music program.
The advantage of tablets in the classroom setting is obvious: they provide a much more intuitive, flexible, and interactive platform for learning than hard-copy textbooks and workbooks. Tablets make it possible for students to access instant multimedia content as well as immediate, interactive feedback on their own work. As a teacher, whether you’re
working with theory, notation, composition, or arrangements, you’ll see right away what a difference iPads and iPods make on the quality of instruction. App-based synths, percussion, guitar amp models, multitrack recorders, and more open up musical worlds that would be unattainable with their costly hardware equivalents. Now, the arrival of affordable iOS peripherals has allowed teachers and students alike to turn these apps into serious learning, creation, and performance tools.
Now used as everything from interfaces to microphones to docks that add connectivity, new peripherals for iPhones, iPods, and iPads have exploded in number. Plug an inexpensive, simpleto-use stereo mic attachment into an iPod touch, and you have a handheld recorder that’s capable of capturing CD-quality audio during performances or rehearsals. A student
can dock an iPad to a peripheral loaded with connection options and then plug in microphones, instruments, and even
