These are pictures of the new Keyboarding Lab. Mr. Simon stated, "There aren't many labs in this part of the state, so it is a bold and innovative undertaking." The lab was purchased through Aabaca, a music company from Minneapolis, and the Yamaha Music Corporation. Mr. Simon and Mr. Ryan installed the lab in the science room in the high school this fall.
The lab allows eight clients and a teacher to play the piano and listen to each other. Each student gets a lesson that must be completed that day. The teacher listens to the students while they are practicing. If the student plays it right, it can be shared with the rest of the class. When the class has mastered that lesson, they perform it together. Only then are they allowed to go to the next lesson. So far the Middle and High School vocal students are the only students that have been able to use the lab, but hopefully soon it will be available to all Rabiner clients and staff.
Awesome job Mr. Simon and Mr. Kelleher! Way to integrate new and exciting technology into the classroom!
