win An oLymPUS LS-20! Our fabulous friends from Olympus have provided yet another superb prize for us to give away - a revolutionary Olympus LS-20 handheld video camera and audio recorder. To enter the competition all you need to do is: 1) Pick a product you have purchased from us and write a review on how you use it and why you would recommend it to other teachers. 2) Email the review to education@dv247.com or post it for the attention of Education Department, Music Village, Chesham House, Chesham Close, Romford, Essex RM7 7PJ. 3) Sit tight, with your fingers crossed, and wait for the result of our random draw to be announced on the 27th April 2012. (If you can’t wait to win one, then if you buy one and enter the competition, we will refund you for the purchase if you end up winning!) You can read up on the LS-20 on page 109, but in brief it is the ideal solution for recording in the classroom, with high definition video and high resolution audio all in one pocket-sized, super handy, device. With easy USB file transfer and SDHC memory card compatibility, it is easy to burn files to CD and possible to save large numbers of recordings on the device.
We love the LS-20 so much that Dan, our in-house video producer who shoots our online video reviews, uses one himself. Dan says: “The LS-20 gives me high definition video to match the crystal clear audio quality derived from the renowned from the LS-5. i take it as a “b”” camera to shoots knowing that when my professional camera runs out or breaks down i can still get the quality i need for online publication. in particular the image stabilisation is superb for such a small unit making it great on the move. The LS-20 never leaves my side!” Anyway, no need to take Dan’s word for it. We have one you can borrow through our Teacher’s Network, so email us on education@dv247.com and request a free trial if you’re keen to have a try!
Good luck!

10 things schools should know about learning music Hearing the music
Music can say a lot about your school. Today, many more schools are benefiting from the transformational power that music brings to pupils, parents and whole schools. Music should be an entitlement for every child, an integral part of school life and never side-lined as just a ‘nice to have’ subject. A child’s education that embraces music starts a life-long journey that for many never ends. This gift of music is part of the DNA of whole life development and is a cultural anchor for young people. The Federation of Music Services (FMS) represents nearly every Music Service in England, Wales and Northern Ireland and is supported by 12000 qualified and assessed music tutors who teach 2 million children every week. To learn more about how music can transform children and enhance your school’s attainment levels and reputation call 01943 463311 or email info@thefms.org You will enjoy some great music too! Virginia Haworth-Galt, Chief Executive, Federation of Music Services
3. music fosters team working Playing in small groups, in whole classes or in any ensemble or orchestra means you are part of an integrated team. Everyone has a role however large or small and this interdependency on one another helps to build team working and a sense of ownership. “Music engenders a sense of belonging, improves team work and encourages self discipline and a sense of achievement. It promotes cooperation, responsibility, commitment and mutual support. It provides an outlet for relaxation and a channel for emotional expression.” Lord Winston, Chairman, Royal College of Music (RCM Sparks Learning and Participation Programme
4. music builds life skills
1. music boosts pupil and social development “An outstanding, high-quality music curriculum provides well-taught, musical activities that include pupils of all backgrounds, interests and abilities. These experiences are not ‘one-offs’ – they are frequent and sustained. Good music education has a core classroom curriculum entitlement, complemented by additional instrumental and vocal activities, and enriched by the work of professional and community music groups. Where it is coordinated, planned and taught well, such a music curriculum helps pupils from all groups to make excellent progress in their musical understanding and in their social development, throughout their time at school.” Mark Phillips HMI - National Adviser for Music, Ofsted
Playing an instrument or learning to sing requires real concentration. Quietness and calm whether on stage or in the classroom is essential. Working alongside other members of an instrumental or singing group helps children to recognise their own skills and appreciate those of others. This builds life skills and promotes the importance of working harmoniously with others towards a common goal.
“What better way of teaching young people mutual respect for one another than playing together in an ensemble? Performance requires a deep understanding of your fellow players’ strengths and weaknesses and discipline to not let others down. It is a powerful way of strengthening emotional intelligence and developing the all important life and employability skills of empathy, problem solving and communication.” Brian Lightman, General Secretary, ASCL (Association of School and College Leaders
2. music improves learning skills Research undertaken by the University of London has clearly demonstrated the cognitive benefits that music gives young children particularly in the younger years of Key Stages 1 and 2. “Research has shown that there are benefits of active engagement with music which go beyond the development of musical knowledge and skills and the enjoyment and appreciation of music. Making music can support the development of literacy, numeracy and listening skills.” Professor Sue Hallam, Dean of the Faculty of Policy and Society, Institute of Education, University of London.
5. music underpins better behaviour To learn music you need discipline. To playwell requires regular practice and dedication.There are many occasions where music has had a transformational affect on children and helped turn their lives around. The FMS has case histories of children where regular absenteeism has been replaced by improved attendance when music became part of their learning regime. Research* has shown that success in the arts, including music, changed pupils’ behaviour, increasing concentration, levels, developing team work and creating respect for the school environment. *QCA 2002 Investigation into Arts-Rich Schools. “When young people enjoy doing something it stands to reason that they often become accomplished in that pursuit. For some children music has proven to be the gateway for a more focused approach to all their studies – although music might be optional, for these children it is essential.” Maureen Hanke, Chair of the Federation of Music Services and Head of Norfolk Music Service

8. music is an educational building block
6. music encourages creativity Music stimulates creativity is so many ways through playing and composition; it enables young people to express themselves like no other medium. It is a vital part of learning and a wonderful cultural introduction to life. To succeed today and in the future, children will need to be inventive, resourceful and imaginative. The best way to foster that creativity is through arts education.* Performance enhances freedom of expression and offers both pupils and schools the excitement and prestige of demonstrating their hard won skills whether in the classroom or in public. Music is often the demonstrable embodiment of both parental and school aspirations. *President’s committee on the arts and humanities 2011. Reinvesting in arts education winning America’s future through creative schools.
“Music encourages creative thinking because it empowers children to shape their world through sound. It allows them to exercise their imaginations. It enables them to take risks with conventions. It teaches them to cope when there are no ‘right answers’ other than those that they define for themselves. Music provides a medium in which young people can express themselves, learning to direct and control their creative imagination. More than this: It is a means of promoting a spirit of enterprise that can influence every area of their lives.” James Garnett, Chair, National Association of Music Educators
The Government said in their response to the Henley Review of Music Education: ‘Music is an enriching and valuable academic subject. Research evidence shows that a quality music education can improve self confidence, behaviour and social skills as well as improve academic achievement in areas such as numeracy, literacy and language.’
“Most children will have their first experience of music at school. It’s important that music education of high quality is available to as many of them as possible: it must not become the preserve of those children whose families can afford to pay for music tuition. While music touches the lives of all young people, the disadvantaged can benefit most… “When young people make music together, they work toward a common goal that has the potential to change lives profoundly for the better. “This National Plan is clear about the importance of music: it will ensure not just that more children have access to the greatest of art forms, but that they do better as a result in every other subject" Michael Gove, Secretary of State for Education and Ed Vaizey, Minister for Culture, Communications and Creative Industries
9. music is fun
Music making is not only good for the brain but also the heart! Young people enjoy the pleasure of mastering a tune or a song and the prestige and stimulation of a first performance in front of an audience is an adrenalin rush that is never forgotten. “Music is fun and different. I love playing in the school Funk Band and practising with my friends. At Christmas we had an old people’s dinner at the school and we played for them then, it was great! I also play the flute and would like to carry on playing when I am older.” Kirsty Foggit, Age 13, Grade 5 Clarinet Player, Ralph Thorseby School, Leeds
10. music is for everyone 7. music is for life The implications are fundamental. An early start in music often results in music becoming a life-long passion. This gift is precious and whilst not all students go on to play in concert orchestras or famous rock bands (although the Music Service alumni reads like a who’s who of musical greats!) the seeds sown in the classroom continue to flourish for a life time of musical enjoyment. “Music has always played an important role in my work as a mathematician. I listen to a lot of music while trying to make the next mathematical breakthrough. The structures that fascinate the composer are surprisingly similar to the structures that I am drawn to as a mathematician. It’s as if the same part of the brain is at play when you’re doing maths and listening to music. An education bereft of either music or maths would rob children of a life-time of learning, cultural and creative opportunities!” Professor Marcus du Sautoy, Charles Simonyi Chair in the Public Understanding of Science, Professor of Mathematics at the University of Oxford and Fellow of New College
make music part of your school!
Music is inclusive irrespective of abilities. Studies have shown that music can be of particular benefit to children and young people in challenging circumstances – not only those with Special Educational Needs (SEN) and disabilities but also those who are marginalised, vulnerable and often hard to reach. Music gives SEN/Disabled children a unique motivation to participate and communicate. Advances in technology enable more disabled children than ever to take part in music education. The channels of touch, sight and sound that music offers can also have a profound impact on children who benefit from a therapeutic approach. “Music inspired me in the belief that I could achieve anything. I became more enthusiastic, had much more drive and wanted to break the barriers and do the same things as everyone else rather than just being bracketed as a disabled person.” Charlotte White, who worked with Drake Music as a pupil at St Rose’s Special School, Stroud.

kEYBOARD DUST cOvERS Keep your keyboard protected against dust and liquid spills with these keyboard covers. These flexible translucent covers are made from solid vinyl sheet to stop the ingress of dirt or liquids. By incorporating an anti-static agent, keyboard covers help to repel the settlement of dust and cause no static electrical charge when placed on or removed from the keyboard. All edges are bound and sewn for long life - do not confuse with cheap welded products. Being translucent helps prevent the possibility of covering a keyboard that’s switched on, and could overheat, by virtue of being able to see the lights.

cONTROllER kEYBOARDS Master & controller keyboards?
Mother Keyboards (also often described as ‘Master’ or ‘Controller’ Keyboards) have no onboard sounds. They are designed to work in conjunction with external MIDI/USB devices such as computers, sound modules etc. and trigger the sounds contained within such devices. MIDI note information (such as which note was pressed, how hard it was pressed, and how long for) is transmitted via MIDI/ USB. The external device can then be set up to allocate a sound to this information. Nicholas Thompson - Sales

STARclASS Sibelius Starclass is a collection of 180 interesting and quirky lesson plans for teachers of any musical ability to use to teach their students. Starclass is aimed both at teachers with no understanding of how to teach music or who are too busy to be able to build their own lesson plans. Starclass includes explanations of all the musical concepts it teaches so that the teacher can learn in advance of the lesson if need be. The lessons are both individual tasks and group activities which can be
easily taught through an interactive whiteboard or projector so the whole class is involved. As an example, one topic is Pulse and Movement and the group activity is to arrange the class into a circle and then bounce up and down to the beat. Progressing from this, the class jump on the major beat whilst bouncing to the minor beats. With each lesson there is a description of what the students are expected to learn to help you assess their progress. Starclass includes lessons which you can use to cover other subjects such as natural history, geography, geology and
numeracy as well as fun topics such as “My School” and “Magic”. A 99-track audio CD is also included, containing hundreds of sound clips and printable pictures.

GROOvY MUSIc Sibelius Groovy Music is a series of three themed music programs, Shapes, Jungle and City, aimed at Primary and Elementary education. The three titles are aimed at different age groups starting with Shapes (5-7yrs), Jungle (7-9yrs) and finally City (9-11yrs). Each edition includes lesson plans and activities aplenty and is geared toward the non-specialist teacher, helping guide you through basic principles of teaching music in a fun and intuitive way. As with all the Sibelius products, the teacher support materials are exemplary and each title is packed with lesson plans, background information for non-specialist teachers, pictures and printouts for the class and sounds and activities to aid learning. Groovy Music has two modes, Explore and Create. Explore mode takes them through interactive lessons, tests and quizzes. An example would be a selection of three sounds recorded from instruments that the student clicks on to play. They then have to drag the sound onto a picture of the relevant instrument. As a teacher you can select the components you wish the students to learn during the lesson. Aspects such as tone colour, quiet and loud, music symbols and music words are but a few of the topics included. The music making section, Create, is a simple screen themed on the title – so a jungle or a cityscape. The bars are defined as trees or buildings and the play cursor is your selected character who walks across the screen. You then drag components into the scene, such as a drumbeat, melody or sound effect and they play back as your character walks past.

SIBElIUS 7 Sibelius 7 is the latest version of the most successful and popular notationbased audio production software in the world. The new version sees a number of updates to the interface and content which bring it more in-line with professional production programs and out-of-the-box you are now able to make professional sounding music where previously you would have needed to purchase additional instruments or sound libraries. Sibelius is one of the most commonly used notation programs for teaching music from Key Stage 3 onwards and allows students to easily compose orchestral pieces using multiple instruments, providing audio playback to enable them to audition their piece as they are working. Sibelius has a complex audio engine that allows you to use most common notational symbols and articulations. Using Sibelius, you can create a finished piece of music ready for exporting to CD by writing notation alone; and it’s not just orchestral music you can write, a number of jazz and rock instruments are included for pop compositions. You can also print music out, scan music in, convert score to midi and even record a performance of a solo instrument and convert it to score. All-in-all, it’s a great teaching tool which is why it is found in classrooms and music labs across the world. Sibelius 7 has an updated task-oriented tab-driven user interface, 3GB of professional grade instrument samples, native 64-bit processing support, single screen optimisation, text and typography enhancements and graphics import to help you make your teaching materials far better. In all, it is an easier program to use with much better sounding results – so two very strong reasons to move up to Sibelius 7. If you are still on Sibelius 5 then you should definitely move up to the new version as it includes a “lite” version of Audioscore which enables you to record audio into Sibelius and convert it to midi and/or score. For example, you can pick up your flute, play it into a microphone and Sibelius will record it as score for you to print out for the class, for an exam piece, or include in your composition.
For those of you who are groaning because you had budgeted for buying additional seats or upgrading this term to Sibelius 6, you’ll be pleased to know that there is no price increase and you can simply switch your order to Avid Sibelius 7. For those of you who still want Sibelius 6 to expand your existing music lab, there is more good news as you can have Avid Sibelius 7 licences added to your Sibelius 6 site licence and install version 6.

PHOTOScORE AND AUDIOScORE
SIBElIUS STUDENT
Photoscore converts handwritten or printed music into midi information for use in sequencers or Sibelius. You can also just scan in sheet music and play it back within the program, changing the instruments and editing the parts to your heart’s content. Photoscore is available on its own or bundled with Sibelius and Sibelius upgrades. Audioscore converts polyphonic audio into score - please don’t ask how - but you can import an audio file or MP3 of your favourite song and it will convert it to midi or score, picking out the individual instruments and allowing you to edit and play back within the program. A more simple application is to play your favourite instrument into a microphone and have it record your performance as midi or score. You can then edit your performance and print it out, or build up layers with other instruments to create a band, ensemble or orchestral piece. Audioscore is available on its own or bundled with Sibelius and Sibelius upgrades (see Sibelius section above).

NATIvE INSTRUMENTS kOMPlETE 8 Komplete 8 presents an incredibly economical single solution for adding all the sounds you are ever going to need to make music to a professional level. If your sequencing package is a bit light on synths, drum machines and samplers then Komplete 8 is the best way to expand your artillery. The interfaces are sleek yet easy to understand and use, the sounds are highquality and professional and the price is affordable and unbelievably good value.
The brains of komplete 8
The brains behind all these sample players and soft synths are two gargantuan instruments, Kontakt (v5) and Reaktor (v5.6). All the sample based instruments feed from the Kontakt brain and all the virtual synthesiser come from the Reaktor brain. This is good because the two brains are amazing, so why not use them, and it means there is an air of familiarity between each different synth, its layout and its controls.
drum kits & machines
Studio Drummer – An obvious place to go for a professional sounding rock or jazz kit, the Studio Drummer is new to Komplete 8 and includes samples from all the pro kits, including brands such as Pearl, Yamaha, Paiste, Zildjian, Sabian, Masterworks, Sonor, Mapex, Ludwig and Masshoff. The interface is a graphical representation of a drum kit, so you can teach the basics of a drum kit and student will learn to identify the sounds of all the different components of an acoustic kit. West Africa – Another new instrument for Komplete 8 is the West Africa drum module. This includes all the commonly used African drums and percussion and gives a graphical representation of the instruments as well.
keys – organs, pianos, and electric pianos
Vintage Organs – Whilst it is massively unlikely that students are going to be looking for a classic ’60s tone-wheel organ for their groundbreaking pop tune, there is a lot to be said for learning about them and their place in pop history. The interface has pictorial representations of the organs it emulates, which include 5 models from Hammond, VOX and Farfisa, giving the students knowledge of what these glorious and groundbreaking instruments looked like.
Creative and Studio effects Software Synthesisers
Retro Machines MK2 – A sample based collection taken from 16 classic analogue synthesisers. Massive – For the modern searing synth leads and basses that you hear in modern pop and dance music. Absynth 5 – If you are looking for something a bit surreal and mind-altering, then this is the way to do it. FM8 – Based on “a” classic FM synthesiser Spark – This subtractive synthesiser has been built on the Reaktor engine. Prism – This utilises Reaktor’s new Modal Bank module and the possibilities of physical modelling synthesis.
Guitar & bass
Guitar Rig 5 Pro – This is also a classic Native Instruments concept and one that has been done to death now with almost every piece of software or hardware coming with some sort of amp emulation for guitarists. This original is probably the best, and using Guitar Rig you can turn almost any sound into screaming rock guitar. Its defter side will allow you to recreate the exact guitar sound you are looking for from a direct guitar input – so useful for the school studio and a powerful tool to teach.
Transient Master – This complex dynamic processor delves into the transients of a sound and allows you to move instruments around in the mix whilst juggling with volume levels. A good tool for helping students understand the effect they have. The Finger – This is more a live performance tool but it is also good for recording effects on-the-fly. It’s a simple yet effective effects processor that allows you to trigger effects from your midi keyboard.

PRESONUS ONE ARTIST Presonus One has been around for a couple of years now and is starting to really gain momentum. This isn’t just because it is a great application but also because it comes free with all Presonus hardware and the new Acorn Masterkey controller keyboards, which make it an absolute bargain (see pg 26). Presonus One Artist is a sequencing program in the same vein as Cubase Artist 6 and Logic Express, but much easier to learn and use because all the instruments and effects are listed on the left hand panel, from where you can just drag-and-drop on to tracks in the sequencer page or channels in the mixer. The quality of the instruments and effects is more than sufficient for schools up to and including GCSE level. Our online magazine has a full article on using this software, so for more information go to magazine.dv247.com and search for Presonus Education.

Cakewalk Sonar is arguably the most commonly used DAW in the world. Although it has struggled to compete against the likes of Logic and Cubase in Europe, don’t let that deter you from teaching Sonar. For one, the included software synths and plug-in effects are superb - far, far better than most of the competition, and since being taken over by Roland, the hardware support and integration has also become second to none. Unified browser for samples, loops, software instrument patches and effects content · Inspector helps analyse all your clip, track and channel data from one window · Smart Tools adjust their functionality according to context · ProChannel is the mixer section of Sonar and is the best in the business.

Audition is ideal for cleaning vinyl, removing hiss from poor quality recordings, removing rumble caused by wind or any other unwanted artefact or background noise.

Wavelab 7 builds on the power of Cubase but adds even more audio editing power.

Wavelab 7 also offers the best CD burning facilities and the best audio analysis tools. Wavelab also goes beyond simply polishing samples, mastering tracks and burning CD’s, the audio montage and project features make mixing tracks together really easy and is totally non-destructive.

REASON Reason 6 is a complete recording studio in one fun, intuitive, easy to use software package. Nothing compares to Reason 6 when it comes to learning, quite literally, the ins and outs of a real recording studio. Reason gives you an infinite software rack of “hardware” devices, including synths, samplers, drum machines, compressors, reverbs, delays, vocoders – you name it, it’s in there. What separates Reason from the crowd is the graphical representation of a real hardware rack and the ability to get round the back of the rack and patch audio leads and control voltages from one unit to another. This works and looks just like it does in real life, so for teaching people the skills required to work in a real hardware based studio environment, Reason is unparalleled. Reason 6 goes even further than its predecessors by including the ability to record, edit and bus audio in and out. Other new features include: The Pulveriser – compression, distortion and filter effects unit, designed to make your recordings warm, harmonically distorted, pumping and loud. The Echo – delay unit designed to combine the modern quality and control offered by software delays with the saturation, detuning and lack of clocking on old tape delays. Alligator – runs three filters (high, band pass and low pass) in parallel through a pattern driven gate
and then applies additional drive, phaser, delay and pan effects. Neptune – vocal pitch correction unit and voice synthesiser which you can use to correct flawed vocal recordings, add harmonies via midi, and create that well know vocal effect. Add these to the existing instruments which include two sampler players, a rex loop player, two drum machines (one MPC style and the other sequencer style), three synths, an arpeggiation unit, sequencer unit, distortion unit, reverb unit and a vocoder, and you have all the tools of the trade in just one rack. It really is a teacher’s dream and a student’s fantasy!
AcOUSTIcA MIXcRAFT Mixcraft 5 is music production software, along the same line as Cubase, Logic and Sonar, and is gaining quite a large following, partly because of the price on multiple copies, but also because there are no limitations on track counts, effects busses, audio inputs and so forth.

Audio Interfaces allow you to record and play back audio from your computer. The quality of conversion directly relates to the quality of sound recorded – and of course better convertors come at a price! Audio Interfaces can be PCI cards (installed inside your computer), PCMCIA, USB or Firewire. The variety on the market is so vast that it can be pretty hard to find a card that will meet your requirements exactly. If you need help finding the correct one, then please call me on 01708 771950.

“The Launchpad is an incredibly intuitive controller that brings all the performance functions of Ableton to your fingertips. Where it truly comes alive is for Music Technology in performance, easily transforming static sequenced tracks into fluid arrangements that allow students to respond to their audience. All of the component parts of a track can be prepared in advance using Ableton during lessons, ready to be taken out and performed live. As the device is based on a grid of lit up buttons it is easy to use on even the darkest of stages. Overall, I think the Launchpad is a very appealing piece of equipment and offers many opportunities to bring an extra bit of fun to Music Technology lessons”.

ComPUTeR HARdwARe & SofTwARe
iStudent - making learning using technology fun and affordable We have teamed up with one of the UK’s Premium Apple Resellers to offer a rather extraordinary and revolutionary way to join an ever growing list of educational establishments using iPads to enhance their students’ learning experience. With iStudent, each student gets a brand new iPad loaded with learning features and applications for as little as £17 a month. This can be paid by the student, by the school, or a mixture of both. Either way, iStudent offers a simple and economical way to radically modernise learning, without any technical expertise required and with peace of mind, knowing that we are there to help get things up and running at no extra cost.
Why the iPad? The iPad is a powerful tablet computer with touch screen technology. Unlike a phone, it can run professional programs and peripherals; unlike a laptop, the touch screen makes it easy to use, even for those with disabilities, and it can be carried in a normal bag. Students also take their work and programs with them, solving the issues of network storage and access to technology suites after school. Far from being a novelty hi-tech accessory, the iPad is used by business people across the globe due to a wealth of benefits; here are a few of those that are most pertinent for schools and education: • Professional – it supports professional applications such as Microsoft Office. • Powerful – you can run music and video applications at a breeze. • Portable – you can take your work with you everywhere and work wherever you may be. This makes it great for homework, group work, or even just moving between classes.
• Informative – With the ability to get online almost anywhere, the answer to any question is never far away. • Simple – the iPad is easy to use even for those with disabilities. The touch screen enables simple learning applications where the student just has to touch a picture to complete a task. • Elegant – People just love to use them and love to own them. They simply work.
to their school work and want to take notes, photographs or a video. With the iPad, they can work whenever they want, capture information wherever they are, and learn anything at any time. The iPad provides unlimited learning and unrestricted working.
The iPad is lighter and less cumbersome than a single text book, and yet, can be every book and notepad the student will ever need. This saves the physical effort of carrying a number books and removes the possibility of forgetting one. The iPad also allows students to work whenever is suitable for them; perhaps they have a long journey home and could be doing their homework ; maybe they find themselves at a friend’s house and they want to work together; perhaps they walk past something of interest
A Mobile Interactive Library Having information at your fingertips is what the iPad is all about. No longer do students have to ask the opinion of a peer, parent or teacher, they can simply get out their iPad and get the facts themselves. Information is always at hand, whether it is by consulting an ebook or jumping online, they will always be able to find the answers they need. Wikipedia is revolutionary in this respect, with deep, factual content on almost every every subject – it really is like carrying a full set of encyclopaedia. Add to that the number of books that are now available for purchase and download, and the iPad really is a personal mobile library. When it comes to education, the iPad’s ability to turn a textbook into an interactive experience makes learning fun for students and helps engage those with attention difficulties. The touch screen and easy zooming functionality means that those with disabilities can easily read and write, as well as ask and answer questions, either by typing or using voice recognition software. By plugging in headphones they can watch in depth video tutorials in class or work on music projects without interrupting others. The process of converting almost every book in print into digital copy is well under way, and with eBooks being instantly accessible and far cheaper than their papery counterparts, this marks another major benefit of the iPad.
Additional Resources iTunes U is an incredible resource that enables institutions and teachers to publish their documents, files and videos onto the iTunes U site and make them available for students to download at any time. For music teachers, this might be a small video about an instrumental technique, filmed and uploaded using their own iPad. The teacher only has to shoot this film once and all future students will be able to go online and watch it repeatedly to really master it. Many of the major institutions and universities are already publishing their resources openly on to iTunes U, giving instant access to some of the best and most current textbooks, theses and essays. In fast moving subjects, such as science and IT, this is essential to learning the subject matter that really does matter. For music students, instant access to the latest sheet music is also incredibly valuable, and cheap too, and is available on numerous online stores and free sites.

Musical Applications The portability and connectivity of the iPad lends itself equally well to group/ band as it does to personal music production and composition work, but It is the applications that really make it the ideal solution for music students.

Music Hardware for the iPad New hardware products for the iPad are being constantly released and the iPad is now a formidable device for musicians and music producers. From simple handheld microphones through to complicated mixers, the variety of products that can be attached to the iPad, or mount an iPad within them, makes the iPad a professional mobile studio, capable of any musical task. There is so much focus from the music technology industry on creating devices for the iPad, that it really won’t be long before the iPad will be no different from any desktop computer. To demonstrate the diversity of products available, here are a few of the devices currectly on the market. Akai Synthstation 49: Although the iPad touch screen will allow up to 10 notes to be played at a single time, and detect velocity, if you want a convenient way to attach a keyboard then it doesn’t get better than this. The Synthstation 49 also gives you 1/4” jack outputs to turn the iPad into a proper stage synthesiser. The Synthstation is compatible with most software. £136 Ref: 82728 Alesis i/o dock: This purpose built audio interface mounts the iPad within it and provides a multitude of connections, including mic preamps with phantom power, direct guitar input, 1/4” jack outputs, headphone output and MIDI I/O.

Combined with iRig software, this turns your mobile device into a portable guitar rig, with a choice of amplifiers, cabinets, effects, and microphones to tailor your sound just as you would in the studio or on stage and allows you to practice in silence using headphones wherever you may be! £18 Ref: 74305
AVid Scorch: Not only can students open up their Sibelius scores wherever and whenever they need to, but they can also download thousands of pieces of music, of all genres, and play the score back with the built in sounds whilst playing along. notion: A complete notation package that comes with high quality samples of the London Philharmonic for easy auditioning on the move. The Notion App can also import and export to Finale and Sibelius making it a useful App for musicians in general. Amplitube 2: Students can plug a guitar into their iPad, replicate their favourite amp and pedals, then lay down some tracks or import a song and play along! With headphones, this App allows a whole class to practice guitar in the same room. fruity Loops: A favourite amongst young people for its ease of use and urban sound set, the iPad App is even easier to use thanks to the touch screen functionality. When it comes to creating dance music, there is no better beginners App on the market.
ik mulitmedia iRig Pre: This tiny little box will allow you to plug any mic into an iPad, iPhone or iPod. The iRig Pre takes a 9v battery to provide phantom power and has a thumbwheel to control the gain settings. £21 Ref: 93646 numark idJ Pro: This beautiful controller locks the iPad into the very heart of it, utilising the students MP3’s and the iPad’s brainpower for running Apple’s “Algoriddum” DJ software. The two platters are dual function, providing jog control and scratching capability. It also has a mic input for Mcing and balanced XLR and headphone outputs to cap it all off. £290 Ref: 93889 Alto masterlink 16: This merges the traditional with the modern, with 16-channel input, 10 of which are high gain mic pres and three are stereo, and built-in Alesis DSP effects. The ability to house an iPad and run the Live Drive App, gives the power of a 12 band parametric EQ, compression, real-time audio analysis and, most importantly, recording functionality. £415 Ref: 93875 Alesis Ampdock: This is a real live performer, combining a hinged dock that encases the iPad to protect it on stage and a foot pedal to provide all the controls a guitarist needs. The AmpDock is ideal for use with Garage Band and Amplitube where the pedal board can be used to flick between presets, bypass sounds and control any parameter. The dock provides a high impedance guitar input and a mic/line/instrument input, whilst the ground lift switch and 1/4” jack outputs mean that you can plug straight into a PA or amp.

Sibelius has been one of the most popular notation software applications in Schools and Colleges for some time. Notation itself doesn’t require a great deal in the way of computing power and storage, but the amazing capabilities that programs like Sibelius offers musicians and composers today, are poles apart when compared to the equivalent packages years before. The ability to compose alongside video clips, to use software instruments, to have scores dynamically change and updated as you work on them - all these things can benefit from a computer system designed to handle such demanding and powerful requirements. Synergy systems are primarily designed to be a solid workhorse for the composer, to let their creativity flow and not be stifled by slow refreshes, lag times, and other hindrances to the creative process. Call our Synergy sales team on 01708 771950 to design your perfect compositional workstation.

The Academy Timpani is ideal for those that require quality tone combined with easy transportation. Fixed tuning handles mean no scrabbling around at important moments. The legs are height and tilt adjustable and they also retract inside the body for compact storage.
Taiko means “drum” in Japanese. Outside Japan, the word is often used to refer to a variety of Japanese drums as well as to the art-from of ensemble taiko drumming. Taiko are stick percussion instruments and are struck with sticks called “bachi”. They have heads on both sides of the drum body and a sealed resonating cavity. Taiko drums are also characterised by high-tension heads that deliver a correspondingly high pitch relative to body size. Taiko is becoming increasingly popular in education establishments across the UK.

aFro-caribbean percussion Afro-Caribbean music, more than any other music, is characterized by percussion. Percussion instruments are used more prominently in its execution than in any other music. The treasure chest of Caribbean rhythms was enriched by the contributions of three continents. As a result, today’s Antillean music beat is produced by beating, shaking, rattling, clapping, and scraping objects that originated among Europeans, Africans and the American indigenous people.

braZilian percussion No one is sure where the term samba originated. Some say it comes from the word semba‚ a Congo/Angola expression used to describe a traditional African dance brought to Brasil by slaves. It may also come from the Umbanda term san-ba meaning to pray as many samba players and composers are followers of Umbanda and Candomblu. Today’s samba schools are descendants of the groups of poor Rio residents who came together to sing and dance to the accompaniment of percussion music.

DHolak
The smaller drum, played with the dominant hand, is called Dayan (“right”), and the larger drum, played with the other hand, is called Bayan (“left”). The Bayan has a much deeper bass tone than the Dayan. The playing technique for both drums uses the fingers and palms in various configurations to create a wide variety of different types of sounds. On the Bayan the heel of the hand is also used to apply pressure, or in a sliding motion, so that the pitch is changed during the sound’s decay.

aFrican percussion African percussion is greatly influenced by the use of drumming rhythms for communication as well as celebration. Traditional instruments are still constructed using traditional methods and materials, mainly wood and animal skins (usually cow skin). Most drums are tuned using a variation of a rope system which is hardy and simple to construct and maintain. There are variants of other traditional percussion instruments that are made using African methods, the Shekere, Ghana Bell, and Caxixi to name but a few. Most instruments are intended to be used as part of a group performance.

musicAL futuRes Music Village is delighted to have been chosen by Roland as the preferred education supplier to provide equipment to Musical Futures schools. Launched in 2004 Musical Futures promotes a new and exciting way to teach music in secondary schools. It brings both non-formal teaching and informal learning together in a classroom context, encouraging a practical and personalised approach to studying music. A recent report by the Institute of Education shows that more than 600 teachers around the country are already implementing Musical Futures and are typically seeing improvements in student attainment, confidence, motivation and behaviour, along with an increase in independent learning skills. This has led to a rise in the number of students opting for GCSE Music courses and has also impacted positively on the take-up of extra-curricular activities. Roland has partnered with Musical Futures to launch a national network of Champion Schools. Each Champion School is responsible for delivering a programme of training (two events per year) ranging from a basic introduction to Musical Futures to more advanced sessions sharing good practice and ideas. Courses are free of charge and are available to anyone involved in education – from classroom and peripatetic teachers, to Music Service / Local Authority staff, community musicians, students, other arts and education professionals. For further information, please visit www.musicalfutures.org.uk/training or contact Abigail D’Amore, Musical Futures National Coordinator, telephone 07837 631492, email Abigail.damore@googlemail.com

JAmhuB - foR siLent & fLexiBLe ReheARsALs A JamHub is a device that allows bands the freedom to rehearse and jam silently anytime and anywhere. When you’re jamming, it’s virtually silent to the outside world. Other classes can’t hear it. People outside can’t hear it. The Headteacher can’t hear it. But for everyone in the band, the experience rocks. Jamhub is incredibly simple and easy to use. Simply pick a colour section and plug in your instruments, mics and headphones. Each musician can control their own individual mixes. You’ll hear yourself like never before with amazing new clarity, no more volume wars, and your playing will improve faster. JamHub is also affordable, portable and easy to set up. So now every band can make more music more often.
Jamhub Bedroom
This is the affordable solution for up to 5 musicians and their instruments, mics and headphones. 15 channels (5 musicians max) · 5 XLR and 5 TRS input jacks · SoleMix™ controls for each section so everyone creates their own mix · 1 SoleMix remote jack (sold separately) · 1-R switch for quickly listening to recording mix · R section for connecting to MP3 or recording · Built-in 24-bit stereo effects (reverb, delay and modulation) £207 Ref: 70525

“The JamHub is exactly what it says on the tin: ‘A silent rehearsal studio’!” “Here at Greendown Community School we have one main classroom and five band rooms packed with Roland gear. Volume management is therefore a constant challenge and can determine the success or otherwise of a lesson. JamHub, in combination with Roland’s V-drums, Juno Ds, Handsonics, and more, provides an ideal and affordable solution for schools and offers an almost studio environment which in itself captures the curiosity of pupils. Launched in 2009, JamHub is a robust and extremely easy unit to use – from receiving the product to using it in action was literally the time to unpack the box – it really was that easy. The pupil’s motivation and enthusiasm for using the equipment and participating in the band work increased greatly as they loved the fact that they ‘sounded like we are on a CD’ - it was an instant hit. Each unit of the JamHub is very simple – you can input either an instrument such as a guitar or keyboard (via a jack-to-jack lead) or a microphone (via XLR lead) into the Music Village unit which then powers and receives the audio signal. To listen, you just plug a pair of Teachers headphones in and you instantly hear yourself and all the other musicians. From there, Network you increase the instrument input and one by one turn up the volume controls for all of the other units. Each musician is in control of this and it only affects the mix that you are listening to in your headphones. This is a brilliant feature meaning that you can target certain parts to help improve each musician’s skills – for example, if the bass player is out of time, the musician can increase the volume of the drums and their performance is now aided by this and an instant improvement is made. Once you have mastered the main band mixing and rehearsing process, you can then move onto the ‘R Section’; this has two functions – listening to music and recording your performance. To listen and play along with music, you can plug in your MP3 player – the numbers at the top correspond to the units that the musicians are playing into and this allows each musician to set their own volume for the playback of the orignal song. To record, you can either attach a remote recorder (such as the Roland CD2i CD Recorder via stereo jack) or link to a computer via USB – all you need to do is make sure that the musician plugged into section 1 has a balanced mix as it is this mix that is recorded. (Please note – the top-of-the-range JamHub Tourbus model includes an onboard SD RAM card recorder). On top of this, there is also an effects engine allowing the band to add reverb, echo and many other performance features. Overall, the JamHub is a simple yet very effective piece of rehearsal and recording equipment – it can be used for basic rehearsing and more complex recording and effects. In all situations, it allows musicians at every level to listen and practice with clarity - making any rehearsal a real musical experience.

se eLectRonics RefLexion fiLteRs The Reflexion Filter is essentially a portable device for recording live sources with reduced room ambience. It is an advanced composite wall which is positioned behind any microphone by means of a variable position stand clamp assembly which is included. The main function is to help obtain a ‘dry’ vocal or instrument recording. This is especially useful in rooms and studios without proper acoustic treatment. How does it work? The various layers both absorb and diffuse the sound waves hitting them, so progressively less of the original source acoustic energy passes through each layer. This reduces the amount of energy hitting un-treated walls and other surfaces so there is less of the original source reflected back as unwanted room ambience to the mic. The Reflexion Filter also helps prevent any reflected sound reaching the back and sides of the mic. Also available: Instrument Reflexion Filter An innovative and useful portable acoustic isolation screen for recording instruments. Ideal for use for micing guitars, pianos, wind instruments or any application where non-intrusive isolation is needed. Pictured left with small diaphragm microphone (not included) £83 Ref: 43268

auDio interFaces anD converters
If you want to capture the whole sound then it is professional grade converters that preserve your audio signal and transform it into digital information. Better converters allow your audio to be captured as transparently as possible - and this becomes more apparent when using higher sample rates. When putting together your studio you will need to take into consideration how many simultaneous input channels as well as how many outputs you will need. Modular systems such as the Lynx Aurora, Apogee Symphony and AVID HD allow for additional I/O to be added at any time and can be easily tailored to meet very specific I/O requirements.

Obviously, starting the mix in the right place is always a good start, but the Beatgrids available also provide super-accurate BPM readings and, since the CDJ350 displays the BPM to one decimal place, just match these numbers and you’ll have a guaranteed mix...” You can read the complete article online at magazine.dv247.com

These are great for picking up zones, so if your actors are always in the same areas then shotgun mics can be very effective. For orchestras and choirs were the performers are static, shotgun mics are very useful. See page 88.

dynAmic mics
kAm led pArbAr mkiii
For music, it is most common to use a dynamic mic on stage. The amount of sound being generated by the band and the levels of the PA system means that you want to use a mic that isn’t very sensitive and will only pick up signal in close proximity. See page 88.
Wireless Mics
Wireless mics are great for school productions where singers and actors need to move around freely. There are three types of mic: lapel mics (often seen clipped onto a newsreader’s tie) are a good option for spoken word. Theatres often tape the lapel mics onto the forehead under the hairline if actors need to move vigourously. headworn mics, as famously modelled by Madonna, can be in the form of a discreet wire that curls behind the ear and protrudes toward the mouth about half way down the cheek. handheld mics are great for singers, poets and speakers, giving a better sound quality.

The ingenious column speaker design allows for two set-up positions – collapsed for smaller spaces (below left) or extended for larger ones (below right). Weighing just over 13 kg (29 lbs), the L1® Compact is surprisingly lightweight and the excellent layout of controls makes it an absolute doddle to use.

bose l1 compact pA system “The L1 is a really simple and effective PA solution. It requires no stands and is a single unit - so setting it up is a doddle. I simply unpacked it, plugged it in, plugged in my guitar and was ready to go. It also breaks down beautifully small and is easy to store. When we used it with a microphone in the school hall for assembly, the children thought it sounded great. When we tested it with the speaker extended up, the children said it really did sound a lot louder! It’s great to have such flexibility and it couldn’t be easier to use.” Linda Trueman, Newdigate Endowed CE Infant School.

With so many to choose from, you may be forgiven for plumping for the cheapest recorder or a brand you recognise. However, a good recorder can have far more uses in the classroom. The Olympus LS-5’s audio quality, for example, is so good that your students will be delighted when you burn their performance onto CD or transfer it onto a USB stick to take home. A single Zoom H4N unit at the front of the stage can be enough to get a professional sounding recording of a gig, accepting two line-ins at the same time as recording from the stereo mic – it can also act as an audio interface and record directly to a computer. So, please don’t be swayed by price alone, as value can be hidden inside these little devices. Give us a call to discuss the options or check out some comparative recordings in our online magazine (http://magazine.dv247.com/category/education/). Justin Whillock – Pro Audio Advisor

olympus ls-5 review “I’ve been using the Olympus for a couple of weeks and have been really impressed using it in the classroom. It has been used to record a full class, individual instruments and speech. The microphones can be set to be quite directional cutting out a lot of unwanted background noise - excellent if you’re in a classroom! I was most impressed when it was used as a studio microphone to record an acoustic guitar, the results for such a small unit were remarkable. It produces rich, bright recordings and even when you record directly to mp3 as opposed to wav, it doesn’t lose that quality when it encodes the audio. It has numerous other advantages. It feels very chunky and well-built with a metal outer Music Village casing. The screen is easy to read with accurate, quick Teachers response level meters. It doesn’t require any special Network software to run with a computer (PC or Mac) - it’s just plug and play, although the software that’s bundled with it is perfectly acceptable. It has proper controls including volume and recording level knobs. The built-in speakers are a very useful addition for checking a recording initially. Finally, it’s battery life is really good, even on rechargeable batteries. This is one of the best portable handheld recorders I have used. It does seem expensive, but you really do get what you pay for!” Andy Clark, Sydney Smith School, Hull.
olympus ls-20m The LS-20M is no ordinary handheld video recorder - it combines the pristine audio capture of the LS-5 with HD movie capture at a whopping 1920x1080P (30 fps) resolution. Unlike your average camera or phone, the LS-20M has a built in image stabiliser whilst the audio capture is unparalleled, with 24bit, 96Khz PCM recording (substantially better than CD quality). The LS-20M also has dual display, allowing you to check the audio levels and the video display simultaneously. The LS-20M has a unique design which has the lens built into the top of the recorder allowing you to hold the recorder horizontally in the palm of your hand when recording which is far more stable. This design also means you can rest it on the end of a desk or shelf, or hold it above you and look up at the screen – great for recording public events where there is a crowd of people. The LS-20M is great value for money and can be used by a number of departments; in particular music, performing arts, sports science and journalism. It isn’t just good for recording students’ techniques in the classroom; it can be used for recording performances, pop videos, online tutorials and webcasts (streaming video and audio straight across the internet). The LS-20M also has a tripod mount, rechargeable battery with AC adaptor and a 2GB SD card. · A PCM Audio Recorder and Movie Recorder combined · Slim, lightweight and portable · Better than CD quality audio sound recording · HD Movie recording with superior audio · Create movie effects for a unique professional feel · Use as a webcam for live streaming · Two LCD screens to monitor both audio and visual recordings simultaneously · Unique design to shoot from the top of the device for steady film and new angles · Tripod Mount and Timer Recording · 2GB SD card included & rechargeable battery and Charger/AC Adapter £ · Pictured with optional tripod stand Ref: 86652

clAssicAl guiTArs confused by choice?
Choosing the right guitar can often prove quite challenging when confronted with the wide range available today. Factors such as size, cutaway body and choice of string can all improve playability. With electric guitars, it is often the amplifier that really makes a difference, and effects such as delay, reverb, chorus and phaser are all useful controls for students to experiment with.

‘Vivente’ violins feature a combination of both traditional and the latest computer-controlled manufacturing processes to guarantee a consistent quality of construction and sound performance.

Every Vivente violin outfit is then inspected again in the UK prior to despatch. Each outfit is supplied with a ‘Hidersine’ quality wooden bow with a hard wood bow frog and natural hair. The rectangular ‘Hidersine’ case supplied with each Vivente violin offers more protection than the traditional shaped case with the benefit of ample storage space for a shoulder rest and other everyday accessories.

pop4schools Pop4Schools is a new teaching programme written by teachers and music industry professionals. The programme uses role-play to introduce students to the music industry world, taking on writing lyrics and music, creating a pop video, producing a CD and artwork and looking at marketing and finances. The lesson plans are great fun and easy to teach. Pop4Schools is an online repository of information and lesson plans to be used to teach the basics of what goes on in a pop music record company. Far more than teaching music alone, Pop4Schools can be used across the curriculum by non-music specialists. As an example, the Pop4Schools “Enterprise Project” sees pupils take on different roles such as a composer, performer, designer, marketeer, promoter or Finance Director - there are seventeen roles to choose from. The project is based on children writing their own lyrics and music, recording the song(s), designing the artwork and then working out ways in which to market and sell their music. The lessons are all prepared for you, with all the detailed planning and resources you need. Regularly updated resources, including pre- written detailed subject based “Blooms Taxonomy” Pop4Schools lesson plans covering cross curricular subjects such as music, ICT, literacy, maths, art, science, history, PSHCE and geography.
Really popular series of books that contains everything needed to implement a complete Scheme of Work for Music Lesson plans, recordings, activities, video clips and photocopiables. No music reading required.
