The more we can engage our students with composition the better! Music isn’t just about performance and listening, but it is about being able to create music and engage with music technology. But it is not just a tool for Lockdown, it is a great way to get students composing & creating music outside of the classroom at any time. It is free, but it is packed full of great features and it is a great solution for Learning in Lockdown. There is an Education branch to it where you can get up a school & classes and then set assignements for your students. Simply put, it is a cloud based platform where people can make and share music. I have already considered Bandlab in my Composing at Home Series, but I wanted to look at some of the features in the hope that you will feel ready to start using it with your classes. In this Learning in Lockdown: Bandlab blog I will be considering some of the features, strengths and advantages of using Bandlab in your teaching. It is a free, web-based DAW that allows you to create classes, set assignments and collect composition work from your students. Bandlab is an online DAW – Digital Audio Workstation.
