Mr. Witte's Music Technology Blog

Music Tech Lab, Rm. 155
This class is for high school students at Winnebago Lutheran Academy who want to learn how to make music on computers. We use Audacity and Garageband as our main tools, and we have fun almost every single day figuring out how to make music using audio and MIDI, but we also learn how to record vocals and instruments and even play guitar and drums if we need to. We keep personal blogs (look on the right column of this page and click on our names) to help us remember what we've been working on, keep track of the all the decisions that we've made on our projects, and to share with our family and friends the music that we've created.

I Just Got Interviewed! Phew! NOW my heart races...

I just got done giving an interview to the Chief Technology Officer of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS) about what WLA teaches in its Music Technology class. (Full disclosure notice: he's also my brother-in-law!) Even so, I was nervous but excited to share what we are doing in Music Technology at WLA and give some ideas for how technology can be used as a tool in grade school music, high school music, and in worship.

The interview will be aired as a podcast on the WELSTech Podcast website sometime in the future. I'll post the date and the link here and on my choir blog when I know it will be aired.

It was fun to use technology to do the interview. No, I didn't drive to Synod Headquarters in Milwaukee. No, the Chief Technology Officer of the WELS didn't come to my office at WLA to sit down with me. No, we didn't just do a phone call. We used Skype to call each other and the whole interview was recorded on his computer.

See...Macs and PCs can get along!
