In this episode of the Music Tech Teacher Podcast, I share several music apps for the iPad, which will be useful in your general music classrooms. These are great for both elementary and middle school ages. I recommend that you start with just afew apps, learn them really well so you can use them in an in-depth way, and then add more apps to your repertoire once you are comfortable with the first set. Enjoy!
