038: Top Musicality Tools and Tech, With Katie Wardrobe (Midnight Music) - a podcast by Musical U
from 2018-01-16T08:00
Today we're talking with Katie Wardrobe, the founder of Midnight Music - a site we’ve followed for several years because it is the go-to place to learn about cool new music tools and websites and insights on how they can be used in music education.
Katie runs hands-on workshops, presents regularly at conferences in Australia and overseas and she offers online training and support to music teachers all over the world through her music technology professional development online community - the Midnight Music Community.
She is also the author of Studio Sessions, a keyboard and technology program for middle school students and the host of the weekly Music Tech Teacher podcast.
One thing we’ve always admired is how Katie is always able to find interesting and creative ways to use new music websites and apps for real practical teaching purposes. We loved having the chance to pick Katie’s brains on how to best use music tech in education, as well as learning a bit more about her own background and what led to her having such a creativity-focused perspective on technology in music education.
In this conversation we talk about:
• How growing up as the daughter of two music teacher parents impacted her early music education, and whether she believes it was nature or nurture that led to her becoming a music teacher herself.
• Her opinion on whether easy music-making technology reduces (or even removes) the need for spending time learning music in the traditional way.
• Her top suggestions for free online tools you can use today to develop your musicality in fun and interesting ways.
This conversation is packed with useful ideas for self-taught musicians and music teachers alike, and you’re going to come away with at least one (but probably several) cool new ideas for using technology in your musicality training.
