They have then exported this ?into an audio file and used it as a soundtrack to a slideshow that they’ve created in iMovie. ?More recently, in a move to introduce Sibelius earlier (and to establish the use of notation for composition), pupils have completed a project where they have first used Sibelius to compose ?a ternary composition using drones and the pentatonic scale. “For our curriculum, the first years in the school usually start by using GarageBand, which then leads naturally into Logic Express and, for those doing more ambitious projects, Logic Pro. This has the advantage that all monitoring of internet usage is done by the school IT department. We also have internet access available from the main school network via a proxy server. The server is backed up daily (using Retrospect) with an additional copy kept off-site for extra security. “This system has worked very well and all pupils and music staff have their own login name, home folder and individual password.

“With an ever-increasing number of pupils taking a keen interest in Music Technology, and with Logic (our sequencer of choice) being no longer available for the PC platform, we decided to replace the PCs with Macs. The PCs worked fine for what we then needed, but at that time we were not doing much in the way of multimedia projects or recording audio. This enabled pupils to do sequencing and notate their compositions.
However, in our main music classroom we initially used a suite of PCs to run Sibelius and Logic. “Since first establishing a music studio at Rugby School in 1994, we have been using Macs for sequencing and, as the technology developed, for multi-track recording. Here Michael tells us about how the school uses the equipment and the impact it has had on student work.
They now have 22 iMacs housed in two music suites. Michael Martin, music teacher at Rugby School, Warwickshire, introduced the school’s first suite of Macs in 1994 to expand the horizons of the school’s already outstanding music department.
