as they discovered shared interests or even taste in music. Social awareness is the ability to take others’ perspectives, identify other’s strengths, and show empathy and support for each other. An early project we made using BandLab was making a song to use an alarm clock. Students had the option to share these with the class, and were quick to provide positive comments and encourage their peers to share. Going forward, more and more students were open to sharing projects and expressing themselves more extensively through projects. The fifth core competency is relationship skills which
refers to practicing teamwork, developing healthy rela- tionships, communicating clearly, and work in contexts with diverse learners. Music classes are almost always in- clusive, and have many different types of learners together which does not happen in other classes. This challenges students to understand the diversity of their class, and work with everyone in a respectful manner. When learn- ing about composition using Noteflight, we composed a
piece as a class. Students were able to give input about the melody, instrumentation and tempo and had to agree on these decisions as a class. For the projects and activities mentioned, students will need a device with internet. The following websites and applications were used, and are free to use: BandLab for Education, Noteflight, Chrome Music Lab, Nearpod, Google Apps. Please feel free to reach out to me at cfer-
ry@ewingboe.org if you would like lesson plans for the activities referenced.
