Integrating Apps With the Core Arts Standards in the 21st-Century Elementary Music Classroom

Abstract

The implementation of the National Core Arts Standards has amplified the need for multiple approaches and opportunities for student responses and may compel music educators to use new tools. There are currently over one million available apps, and with the popularity of smart devices, student access to technology is increasing exponentially. Music teachers can take advantage of the apps and technology to help meet these standards and enhance the classroom experience.
