Jeff Gottlieb educator letter Dear Music Educators, Since 1952, our tradition of providing support and advocacy tools to music education has been the keystone to the success of our business. As our School Services programs continue to expand through our educational offerings like The Music & Arts Clinic, Music Educator of the Year Awards, digital music education resources and fantastic personal service from our Educational Representatives, we want to reinforce our longstanding commitment to you, the music educator. The role you play in the lives of your students is vital. You empower, inspire, celebrate and challenge your students through music. As we continue to grow, I firmly believe that music makes local communities more compassionate, creative and vibrant places to live, and that positive change begins with each music educator. Music & Arts knows the importance of providing excellence in every facet of our business and that supporting music programs across the country will help you continue to do what you do best – inspiring the next generation of music makers. Thank you for the continued opportunity to serve you,

TIPS FOR BUILDING A QUALITY RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION PROGRAM By: Marcia Neel

4. Personal invitations make students Below are a couple of examples. •

feel

valued.

Send invitations to prospective students to try out instruments for band. Send a personal invitation to invite students into the program. The invitation could simply read, “Congratulations! You’ve been chosen to play (instrument) in the (name of school) band/orchestra,” etc. The director should follow up to ensure that the student indeed gets enrolled into the proper class.

5. Students don’t quit if their parents remain ACTIVE in the program, but most parents of beginning music students don’t know what “normal” is. These recommendations will help guide the parents and, subsequently, the students. The best recruitment ideas come from directors who’ve established successful recruiting and retention practices. Below is a strand of common beliefs that revealed itself consistently through interviews with program directors: 1. 2. 3. 4.

Every student will be interested and welcomed. All students will have an equal opportunity to succeed. Music is an integral part of every student’s total education. All students want to play because it looks like fun!

A. Teach parents how to support their child’s practicing. • • •

B. Help parents motivate their children through music exposure. •

RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION ACTIVITIES THAT WORK! The ideas below were provided by directors who put a special focus on recruitment and retention efforts. 1. Most high school bands invite beginning students to participate in a halftime show. These are ideas to make the experiences special: •

Loop high school band students into the recruiting process by asking them to send personal invitations to like-instrument beginners to join the high school band in a pre-game pizza party, or to attend the game. Encourage high school boosters to host a middle school parent reception during the pregame pizza party and invite principals from the participating schools to speak about the value of music programs. Provide VIP seating for guest parents so they have an unobstructed view of their students on the field. Work with the beginning band director to prepare students for performing in one of the school’s halftime shows. Have beginner students perform a couple of notes along with the band.

2. Invite elementary recorder students to play in the high school Spring Concert. Feature them in their own selections and with the “big kids” on a simple piece. 3. Have each 4th grade student touch, hold, and play three instruments of choice. Follow up by sending a personal letter home advising parents of the success their child experienced on the instrument.

10 | MusicArts.com/Educators

Establish a regular, daily practice schedule. Set up a practice space with proper equipment and lighting. Listen to practice sessions weekly and praise the student for their progress.

Take beginners to live performances to show the incredible potential that lies in their future. Choose performances that feature their specific instrument. Arrange for the young student to meet with the like-instrument performing artist after a live performance.

C. Encourage parents to play an active role in the learning process. •

Help parents become more knowledgeable about their child’s instrument and its accessories by posting/sharing short videos either via your band’s YouTube channel or school website. Schedule an annual Parent Band performance. At the beginning of the school year, students are instructed to teach one or both parents or other family member to play their instrument over the course of the year. The Parent Band performs several selections from their student’s method book at the final concert.

FINDING YOUR SOUND ON THE SAXOPHONE:

THE IMPORTANCE OF YOUR SETUP AND HOW TO FIND THE RIGHT EQUIPMENT By: Roxy Coss Test the equipment by playing with every type of attack, including subtone, vocalizations, and “saxophonisitic” approaches such as growling, altissimo, false fingerings, etc. Make sure each approach feels comfortable. This is how “flexible” the equipment is. I like to push as hard as possible to test flexibility, and make sure I can manipulate the sound quality. However, you also want to make sure you can achieve an even tone throughout the entire instrument. Listen for variances, especially between different registers. Sometimes the horn, mouthpiece, or reed will be brighter or darker, quieter or louder, or reach a “cutoff” point where it won’t take in any more air, or requires more air to get a response. Make sure to try several types of one component - for instance, try many types of mouthpieces. Then, when you feel like you’ve found the best type, try a few of that same type of equipment. When you have found “the one”, take Music is a language, and anything you say is going to it home and try it in your practice space, and in various come through your sound. People hear it before they performance and rehearsal settings. Record yourself and hear the content of what you play. When developing listen back, and ask others how it sounds.

It’s important to note that the feel of playing a particular setup is not necessarily going to be tied to the sound you get from it. Often, you will sound almost identical to yourself playing different setups, even if it feels completely different.

alone. Often, we outgrow a piece of equipment without realizing it. You never know what specific combination will help you achieve your ideal sound.

Something else I look for when trying out a new piece of equipment is that you make sure to have “control” elements. For instance, don’t change anything else in your setup at the same time as experimenting with your mouthpiece. If you keep changing multiple elements, you won’t be certain which of them caused the change in feel or sound. One thing I look for in a good setup is the response - I make sure there is no delay before the air and tongue actually make the sound start happening. Surprisingly, a delay could be the result of any of the items in your setup - not just the reed or mouthpiece. Another thing to test out is the amount of air and force required to produce the sound, and the capacity for dynamic variation. It should feel natural to be able to get fortissimo and pianissimo volume levels throughout the full range of the horn. Often times a strain could be caused by a reed that’s too hard or a mouthpiece that’s too large, but it could also be that the horn isn’t sealing properly, the neck strap is blocking your airway, or the ligature isn’t tightened fully or has too much resistance.

This has proven to help immensely in both orchestral settings and wind ensembles. These reeds feature an American Scrape and are designed to be free-blowing and still stay right on pitch.

ROVNER

Rovner Ligatures also greatly improve reed playability. Reeds that are totally unplayable on other ligatures will often perform well with the Rovner. The ability of the Rovner Ligature to extend reed life is unparalleled. More rigid ligatures actually hammer the cane fibers during vibration, eventually destroying the reed's tonal vibrancy. Not so with Rovner; most players find their reeds will play until the tips finally succumb to fatigue and fall apart.

2019 MUSIC EDUCATOR OF THE YEAR

Meet David Matchim

DIRECTOR OF BANDS AT CENTENNIAL HIGH SCHOOL IN ELLICOTT CITY, MD

Each December, Music & Arts recognizes the work of an outstanding music educator. David Matchim’s nomination rose to the top because of his references, resume, and letters of recommendation and it was clear he was our winner. We are pleased to share the highlights from our interview with David.

How has your teaching philosophy evolved over the nine years you’ve been an educator? What I wish I would have known before I first started at Centennial is that it’s so much more than just focusing on the sounds the kids are making and figuring out how to make them play better. I’ve had some really great mentors. One specifically was Mr. Jeff Brodie who was the middle school teacher at Burleigh Manor Middle School. A few of us in this feeder system were charged with the responsibility of putting on a presentation at one of our professional development days. In his portion, he talked about what it is to be a musician beyond the musical side of things. He talked about being on time, being committed, being respectful, being supportive, having initiative, all that extra non-musical stuff. I realized when he was giving that presentation that that was something I was missing. You can really get a lot of bang for your buck by helping kids kind of find their way and be better people. And when they’re better people and they know what’s expected of them, that’s what makes the band sound better. Nothing takes the place of ownership. That’s what I understand now. It’s their product, not mine. I’m the only person in that room that doesn’t make a sound, so they have to understand that it’s their group, and I think that’s the big thing. It’s the community that’s built as part of that personal growth. What do you feel has been the biggest struggle that you’ve had as a music educator and how have you overcome it? One of the biggest challenges I think about being a teacher is that we always want the students to care as much about what we do as we do. I think it’s sometimes difficult to remember that you are just a small part of their life. I’m not discounting it, I think I’m a very important part of many of my students’ lives, and they’re an important part of mine. But they’re busy. I’m not that far removed from my students. I graduated from high school in 2002, so I’m lucky that I kind of get their perspective on a lot of things. But when they finish the school day, they go to sports practice, they go to their job, they go to their internship, they have tutoring, they have all these different things. The challenge is getting them to put in the time for what you’re working on. I expect my kids to practice, and I have my share of playing assignments and things like that, but I think it all goes back to making sure they feel like they belong, and it’s their product. I think the hardest thing is getting them to work hard for you because they have to want that. Getting them so that at some point during the day, they think, “What do I need to do for my music class tomorrow?” They’re sometimes just trying to stay afloat, and you’ve got to find something that inspires them to work hard for you, and I think that “something” is each other. Your Music & Arts Educational Representative Christine Martin is a huge supporter of music education in Howard County and particularly of you as a music educator. What role does she play in supporting you in your program? We are so lucky to have Christine Martin as our educational representative for Howard County. There have been many times that I’ve called and emailed her needing something very, very quickly, and she’s come through. This year in fact, it was a baritone saxophone that kind of went caput on me right before Midwest. I called, and did some price shopping myself, but Christine was able to help me out and get me that instrument. It was here I think the next morning, if not the day after. We were losing rehearsal time because that student didn’t have an instrument. She made it happen. I remember talking to her on the phone, and she said there were like two or three in the country. She said she was going to call those warehouses and get Centennial High School’s name on it, and it happened. We were extremely thankful for that. She’s invaluable. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Read the complete interview at MusicArts.com/TheVault

ESSENTIAL CYMBALS

FOR YOUR MIDDLE OR HIGH SCHOOL BAND ROOM By: William Leather Cymbals add color, texture, impact and subtleties to concert band, marching band, orchestra, jazz ensemble and chamber music. In addition to the emotional element they add to music, cymbals can also serve as time keepers and provide special effects within a given piece. The following cymbal categories are listed in priority order, based on the common needs of contemporary and classic literature. Each cymbal selection is marked with either a B to indicate a more budget conscious purchase or a U to indicate a product that would be considered an upgraded choice.

Crash Cymbal Pairs

Suspended Cymbals

In addition to their use during musical impacts, crash cymbals are essential to a majority of march literature and depending on the type, can also be used as a suspended cymbal. Crash cymbals most commonly range in size from 16"-22", with a good general pair being 18".

Suspended cymbals most commonly ranges in size from 16"-20", with the most typical function serving as a support for dynamic shape by rolling with two yarn mallets.

B Zildjian 18" A Classic Orchestral Selection Suspended: this is a solid choice for

a general suspended cymbal that provides a full combination of high and low overtones.

B Sabian 18" AA Orchestral Suspended: similar to the Zildjian choice above, this cymbal is machine spun but can still provide your ensembles with a classic suspended cymbal sound at an affordable price. U Zildjian 18" K Constantinople Suspended: an investment in a hand-hammered cymbal can provide your ensemble with a darker, richer and more blended texture for all of your suspended cymbal needs.

B Zildjian A 18" Symphonic Viennese: these allpurpose, versatile cymbals are light enough for repeated crashes , yet full sounding enough to create impact with sustained crashes. B Sabian 18" AA Viennese: the Sabian equivalent to the Zildjian selection above.

U Zildjian 18" K Constantinople Medium Light: a lighter member of the hand-hammered Zildjian Constantinople family, these cymbals also have strong, dark and low overtones that blend well with all types of ensembles. Additionally, these cymbals will work well as suspended cymbals when purchased with the Sabian gooseneck stand attachment detailed below. All K Constantinople Cymbal pairs include a 20" Orchestral Cymbal bag, one pair of orchestral felt pads and one pair of leather straps. U Sabian 18" Artisan Traditional Symphonic Medium Light: similar to the Zildjian Constantinople pair, these hand-

hammered cymbals have sensitive response with rich, warm and musically complex tone.

U Sabian 18" Artisan Traditional Symphonic Suspended: this vintage-style hand-hammered

cymbal is another excellent choice if you are looking to upgrade the sound of your percussion section to more complex and full overtones with a wide dynamic range and immediate response.

THE DEVILS YOU KNOW An interview with Scott Johnson Percussion has been a life calling for you. You started at the age of four and it has been your career ever since. What is it about percussion that grabbed you? I started drumming when I was four, and haven’t really stopped yet. I have three sisters, two older, one younger, and my two older sister twirled baton when they were young. I grew up in the pageantry world, and I was on mom’s hip at all the parades, with my two older sisters twirling their batons, and it was either start drumming or start twirling a baton for me. My mom has a photo of me with two hot dogs in my hand sitting at the lunch table pounding on the plate, and they figured, he’s going to be a drummer. So from the age of four, I started taking private lessons from the local guy who was running the drum and bell corps back in those days. And that led to pretty much where we are today. The Blue Devils Drum and Bugle Corps is an elite marching organization. What is the audition process like for the Blue Devils? At Blue Devils we get drummers who know how to play everything. Drummers who can play all the hardest stuff flock to here because of what we’ve done in the past and what we’re doing now. So there is a lot of talent, but for us it’s more about sound quality. As a drummer, you think about marching percussion, a snare drummer, you’re playing on a one pitch instrument. Tenor drummers you have maybe four, five or six drums. Bass drummers, it’s all tonal so you have five people splitting up rhythms. But it’s all about the quality. Everybody that walks through our door has to have a good sound quality in order to be part of this organization. We put so much on the individuals to be extremely talented that their sound has to blend when we put the whole ensemble together. What are the most important traits you look for when hiring support staff? I usually hire people that I know. People that have come through the program, because they know what to expect, and people that I think will do a good job. When you see a certain person that’s in your drumline whose in there for two to three years, you keep your eye on that person and realize this person’s going be a great teacher. Just by the way that person reacts to the other members, the information they give them, those are things I really look at. I keep hiring extremely talented teachers, and I’m really lucky at that, and they make me look really good. And they’re a lot younger than I am, so they make me look really good because they’re the ones that have to get out there and run around with these guys all the time. So, I’ve been very blessed with amazing friends, and my staff. What are your preferred instruments for your corps? The gear that we use for marching percussion has changed so much. When I marched we had a strap around our neck to hold a drum that rested on our leg. We could not do the physical things they do nowadays because there was a drum attached to your leg and it was hard to run around. Then we started to get drum carriers that went over the shoulders and held the drum out in front of you so your legs were free. These made it easier to move, and that was, for drummers, the kiss of death because that meant you’re gonna move a lot.

But then drums became heavier; they became tanks. We were trying to fly around the football field and run all over the place so we needed strong drums that could last several seasons. That meant we had to have strong people to play tenors, and bass drums because they were heavy drums. We’ve been very fortunate the last couple years with the Blue Devils, we have our System Blue line of drums that we actually developed ourselves and use. The main priorities for System Blue are to be lightweight and not lose sound quality, plus be user friendly for the body. We want your body to be healthier by the time you get rid of your playing days as a marching percussionist. What are your preferred instrument accessories for your corps? We use a combination of System Blue drums, Evans drumheads and Promark drumsticks. We developed the System Blue snare head with Evans and it has a great feel to it, great sound quality and the maintenance is really good. With our System Blue line of Promark drumsticks it’s all about having a good sounding marching percussion stick for the drumheads we play on, which are Kevlar based and have a hard surface. We want a stick that is going to project and feel good in the hands, not vibrate, that way it’s more of an extension of your arms. The fact that we worked together in designing the sticks and the drumheads has been awesome and the sound quality has definitely improved year, after year. You’ve won fourteen D.C.I. High Percussion titles and countless gold medal championships. You were inducted into the 2012 class of the DCI Hall Of Fame, the 2012 WGI Hall Of Fame, and the 2015 World Drum Corps Hall Of Fame. How do you continue to challenge yourself with new goals? You know, we get so much information out of the Blue Devils members. Every year I set the members down, the drum line for example, and I say “What are you looking at? What is the best drum line in the world doing today?” And the information they give us we use. We use it in designing the show, because they’re the ones who are doing it. And I think that’s going to be the legacy of the Blue Devils, a lot comes from within, from the members who help us, the staff members keep us fresh, current and pushing the activity. In that way, we keep trying to define ourselves every year. We don’t want to get stale and do the same cookie cutter show like we’ve done in the past, so every year it’s something different, something new, and I think that’s why we keep doing this thing.

He first joined the Blue Devils in 1976 and became the organization’s Director of Percussion and Percussion Arranger in 1994.

USING BRAIN-BASED MUSIC STRATEGIES FOR CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT By: Mary Knysh

Is classroom management an issue for you and your school community? If the answer is yes, you are not alone. Worldwide, educators are searching for answers. What if we approached classroom management with a new mindset using music as the pathway toward creating an optimal learning environment? Students could be educated in the way that neuroscientists tell us they learn best. Science continues to shape our understanding of the connection between music and neuroscience and the effect that rhythm and music have on brain neuroplasticity. The four key components for rewiring the brain are making music, movement, creative play and numinous experience (when many create as one). Brain-based music strategies and rhythmic activities are well-suited for addressing classroom management in fun, accessible and engaging ways. A key factor for brain-based optimal learning is a safe, supportive and empowering environment wherein students can experience a sense of belonging, identity, value, purpose and joy. Students and teachers collaborate to co-create a classroom environment wherein all are held accountable and are invested in its success. I have presented at conferences and clinics worldwide for decades. Educators have shared with me that their biggest classroom management challenges are focus, engagement, listening skills, daily transitions, apathy, accountability, student buy-in, collaboration, accessing creativity and student leadership. Here is a sample of music strategies and activities that my colleague, Patrick Lollis, and I have designed. Each activity can be adapted for body percussion, small percussion, drums, Boomwhackers and melodic instruments. FOCUS Breath to Boom ~ This is a terrific activity to warm up the voice, calm the body and quickly focus students of all ages. Process • Take a deep, relaxed breath in as you raise your hands high in the air. • On the out breath, slide your voice from high to low following your hands as they slowly descend. • When your hands reach your lap, say, “Boom!” repeat 3x or until the group completes the movement and sound in unison. • Change “Boom!” from a loud sound to a very soft one. • Hold out the “m” sound of “Boom” while playing a slow steady beat together.

Process • Exploration 1: Stay connected to the group pulse. Explore sound possibilities on your instrument. • Simplify: Choose two favorite sounds and create a simple rhythm pattern. Listen to the group composition. • Exploration 2: Explore freely, listen to others and imitate sounds that inspire you. • Simplify: Choose two different favorite sounds and create a new pattern. • Exploration 3: Explore freely. Listen to each other. Hear the emergent rhythmic idea and create one common group pattern. • Simplify: Work together until everyone is playing exactly the same thing! This new collective rhythm is Musical Home. REDIRECT Student Led Music Circle Facilitation ~ When students step into leadership roles they have “skin in the game.” They are invested in the process of moving the class into a self-organizing system wherein everyone is important, recognized and valued as an integral part of the whole. In a music circle, the facilitator uses any mix of percussion and melodic instruments to guide the group toward spontaneous music-making, focused on the quality of the relationships of those making music together, rather than performance. Teaching student leaders basic music circle facilitator cues empowers them as they lead their peers. Each music class opens with a student leader facilitating a short music circle. The leader encourages the members of the group to listen, connect, communicate and create together through music. Look for Mary’s new book on this topic next year.

CONNECT Musical Home ~ This is a short, repeatable, rhythmic composition created by the class. This musical family portrait is an excellent example of creative play and numinous activity for the brain. Musical home enables us to come to attention, share our feelings, grow together, remember what collaboration looks and feels like, embrace and celebrate our communal identity and explore new ways of thinking with a safe place to return.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE BEST MIXER FOR YOUR SCHOOL MUSIC PROGRAM By: Micah Blouin You are a marching band director and need more “oomph” on the front sideline. The middle school needs a public address system for assemblies but also needs to amplify the jazz band concert. Mixing live sound can seem intimidating, but you can do this. Here are some simple tips to help you choose the right mixer for your program’s needs.

What Is a Mixer?

Here Are Some Features of Popular Digital Mixers:

As the name implies, an audio mixer is an electronic device used to collect all the inputs from microphones, electronic musical instruments, and so on; adjust their volumes independently; and sum them, sending the aggregate mixes to various outputs.

• Extensive onboard processing, such as equalization, compression, and reverb

Each mixer input is directed to a path called a “channel.” Each channel has input gain (level) control and can be routed within the mixer and to various outputs. You also get a control for each channel’s output level; on most mixers, this control is a slider called a “fader” that you slide up to make the sound louder and down to make it softer. While a mixer might look complicated, and some offer a lot of features, mixers are mostly a simple combination of controls repeated multiple times (for each channel).

• The ability to record to a computer or built-in recording device • The ability to remote control the mixer with a laptop, tablet, or smartphone

What Are Hybrid Mixers? The hybrid mixer operates mostly like an analog mixer but offers some digital features. For instance, a hybrid mixer may include Bluetooth input, which is useful for sending audio from a tablet, a smartphone, or a Bluetoothequipped, teacher-worn headset. Some hybrid mixers have an onboard recording device that can record to an SD card. Hybrid mixers may also be able to record multitrack, so you can record each channel individually and mix it later with software.

How Many Channels? First decide how many input devices you need to mix. For a simple public address system, I recommend you have eight channels, as you may need to amplify multiple microphones at once. For a jazz band or show choir with individual microphones, I recommend a 16- or 24-channel mixer. For a marching band, you can expect to use two microphones (hence, two mixer channels) per vibraphone or marimba; one channel for each additional monophonic input signal; and two channels for each additional stereo signal.

How Do Digital Mixers Differ from Analog? With analog audio electronics, a microphone converts sound into a continuously varying electrical representation (analog). An analog mixer combines and modifies these electrical signals. A digital mixer is a specialized computer in which the analog signals are described as a series of (usually binary) numbers that can be translated back into sound. So an analog mixer works with electrical signals and a digital mixer crunches numbers. Digital mixers usually are much more flexible and offer more processing than analog mixers. Analog mixers are generally less expensive, and they’re relatively easy to use because each control serves one clearly marked, dedicated function, so you always know what every control does.

Should You Go Digital or Analog? If you are directing a marching band, you will definitely benefit from the technology in today’s digital mixers. With iPad control, you can mix from the field, the press box, or anywhere else within the range of a router. If you’re simply looking for a mixer through which you can amplify two vocal mics in your general music class, a digital mixer might be more than you need. Don’t let mixers intimidate you. Most mixing functions are simpler than they appear, and plenty of resources are available to help you learn to use them.

Focusrite and Novation provide educators with the audio tools they need for their classrooms

High quality, reliable, and easy to use

Essential keyboard controller

Focusrite’s Scarlett 2i2 Studio provides students with everything they need to get started recording studio-quality audio, easily and quickly: a CM25 large diaphragm condenser mic, a three meter XLR mic cable and stand clip, HP60 closed-back studio headphones, and Scarlett 2i2 – the world’s best selling USB interface.

Outfitting your classrooms with top quality controllers can be wildly expensive. Novation’s Launchkey USB MIDI controllers bridge the gap between quality and price, making them an indispensable addition to any classroom setup. They are the quickest and easiest tools students can use to produce and perform their music, especially in Ableton. Students just plug in via USB and the keys, faders, knobs and pads immediately spring to life, giving them hands-on control of their instruments, effects, and mixer. Of course, if they don’t use Ableton, Launchkey will map to other major music software too.

No extra software needed Using the included recording software, students can compose, record, edit, save and export their music straight away. Time unlimited versions of industry-standard DAW’s (Digital Audio Workstation’s) come bundled as standard with all Focusrite Scarlett interfaces: Ableton Live Lite and Pro Tools | First, which features12 additional plug-ins including the Eleven Lite for real life guitar amp emulations and Black Op for iconic distortions and overdrives. Also included are professional grade plug-ins from innovative and prestigious software companies. Students have access to Softube’s Time and Tone bundle, the Focusrite Red Plug-In Suite, Novation’s Bass Station Virtual synthesizer, 2GB of Loopmasters samples, and XLN Audio’s virtual instruments, to add color, effects, and produce well-rounded compositions.

Easily make beats and trigger loops Adding creativity at no extra cost, Ableton Live Lite, XLN Audio, Novation Bass Station, and V-Station virtual instruments, plus 4GB of production ready samples from Loopmasters come included free with a Novation Launchkey. Sixteen RGB pads provide clip color-matched feedback in Ableton Live to enhance your student’s workflow, letting them create and launch clips, trigger samples, control FX and loads more; all whilst playing keys. These pads are also velocity-sensitive, so they can really put some feeling into their beats.

Get the best out of your students

Durable and portable

When students sound their best, they’re more likely to be inspired to learn, write, and perform at their peak. By using a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 Studio to record guitar and vocals, students will be able to hear themselves back and catch where they need to tweak their performance, then reproduce their sound and get their music online. But don’t fret; Focusrite specifically designed this guitar input to handle the hottest pickups without clipping, distorting or changing your sound at all. So, your students won’t be hindered by the technology you have carefully chosen for them.

Lessons don’t start and stop when the bell rings. Launchkeys are lightweight and portable, but strong enough to endure repeated use, semester after semester, securely locked down via its Kensington lock slot. Equally, you can trust that, when put in a keyboard bag for homework assignments or extended projects, a Launchkey will continue to support your students through their scholastic tenure. With Novation, you can have confidence that you’ve purchased controllers that will stand the test of time. Launchkey is available in Mini, 25, 49, and 61 key models.
