Writing music used to require talent. It still does, but it used to too. Additionally, with the advent of a certain technology, it’s all too easy for even the most tone deaf Apple fan to make music with this iPad music generator. Here are five things to know about.
1. IPAD MAKES THE BEST IRISH INSTRUMENTALS
Not to say that Apple fans can’t make any music want with an iPad music generator but in this particular example, it seems like it’s great at making Irish traditional music. Not to discredit the children at all, but the secret is in the technology. Sure, a little music theory never hurts either.
2. SIMPLY MUSIC FOR APPLE FANS
Simply Music is an award winning company that delivers music workshops like the one mentioned above. They’ve been sp successful by integrating technology and live music performance, that even the most melodically challenged Apple fan could figure it out. It just takes an iPad and a little motivation. Again, music theory might come in handy too.
3. THE THREE STRANDS
Simply Music is based on the three stands of listening, performing and composing. Combine that with an Apple iPad and musicians can enhance their learning through interaction and engagement. The workshop eventually concludes with a live performance to showcase what the students have learned.
4. TECHNOLOGY AND MUSIC IN HARMONY
Harmony is a large part of the music, but it’s important for technology too. In fact, it seems important no matter where you are in the world. Simply Music is no different. Simply Music is lead by Paul Maher a Professional Percussionist/ Digital Media designer. Those are two very different occupations but together, can combine something beautiful .
5. THERE ARE APPS FOR THAT
Beside Simply Music, anyone with an Apple iPad can download one of the many music-making apps for iOS. There are programs for all skill levels ranging from the fun and easy to professional and daunting. It may not be as cool as playing guitar at that frat party, but there is a place in the world for music and technology to exist together. Some say they may be one in the same. It won’t be long before we have the Google Symphony Orchestra or Tesla electric guitars. Personally, VR Guitar Hero sounds like it would be the most fun. imagine the backstage parties.
