Introduction

At your service, **Michael DuBose** of William Hall Academy**( BS,BME,MA...MTV**)...MTV??? Yes, **M**usic **T**echnology **V**isionary!!! //I have been working at the intersection of Music and Technology for over 25 years, in Chicago, London, Japan, and now in Prince George's County Public Schools. Growing up in Motown, during its heydays of the 60s and 70s placed a love of music deep down in my SOUL! I am doing what I love-teaching kids how to appreciate all types of music, and showing them how technology is intertwined with today's music. As a part of STEP, I want students to learn how to use the tools that are used to create, record and edit music. I also want educators to experience the "chiming winds" thatMusic Technology can bring into their classrooms. Most of all, I want to step away from STEP with a completely new arsenal of technology tools that will enhance my life and career.//

STEP into the Music classroom at William Hall Academy and you will embark upon a musical journey filled with:

group Piano lessons using the Yamaha MIE (Music in Education) Lab;



Music Theory lessons taught using Orff instruments;



or Music Technology projects such as adding a mix of sound effects and production music to a short story to create an audiobook.



...just to name a few!
