We can’t have talks… at least I shouldn’t be talking to my apps… about what the best way to do something is and then make that interpretation or change colors of stuff. We can’t make decisions on a moment’s notice, like I can with another musician. Except for, I cannot phrase with the app in the the same way that I can. For instance, if I do a collaborative piano thing with my colleague, there’s a lot of tools that we’ll talk about today that will substitute for that collaboration. And a lot of it does substitute for other things, but in the end, it can’t. So, one of the main things that I do is decide what’s best for the student and what’s best for me. I have to make that decision on every app that I use, or every device that I employ. Sometimes when it’s convenient, though, it takes away some of the learning behind it, and I’ll get into some of that later. Trevor: Yeah, I think one of the most important things is to decide when to use technology where it benefits as opposed to be either a substitute for something you should learn in a different way, or whether you should implement it because it’s just convenient. We’ve invited you here to talk about how you’ve been using mobile technology in applied music instruction, specifically related to performance. John:…and I have black raspberry green tea. Rebecca: Today our guest is Trevor Jorgensen, an Assistant Professor of Music and Student Learning Outcomes Assessment Coordinator at SUNY Oswego.

Rebecca: This podcast series is hosted by John Kane, an economist… John: Thanks for joining us for Tea for Teaching, an informal discussion of innovative and effective practices in teaching and learning. In this episode we consider where students are developmentally in a discipline, convenience, cost, and other factors on the choice of supporting music instruction using mobile applications. John: There are apps for just about everything but choosing when to embrace them for instruction needs to be a careful decision.
