My technology infused classroom would like a music room on steroids, combining the traditional rehearsal space with 21st-century technology. I would have the traditional placement of risers for choral music, and the semi-circular formation for band. From there, I would add computer stations on one side of the classroom. Each of these stations would be used for practice and the learning of music notation and theory, and also be networked and internet capable for research, with a printer attached. This would allow students to be continually rotating through rehearsal, theory knowledge acquisition, and recording technology.
In addition, I would add computers in a practice room that would usable as digital audio workstations for students to record projects, and produce recordings of our concerts. Finally, I would include video capability for the class to be filmed, and have microphones in the room for recording rehearsals. There would a document camera so students could diagram and teach, explore, and create musical lessons for their peers, and have older students tutor younger singers and players.
