A classmate and I have to present an activity using the SmartBoard in a music class tomorrow. We decided to use a game we found online at this website
http://www.classicsforkids.com/games/compose/compose.html
It's a composition game where students can drag and drop notes or rests onto a music staff, then listen to their composition play. We thought of many ways you could make this game even more educational by using the SmartBoard. Students could play, clap, or sing each others' compositions easily. Using the pen tools they could write in the chord changes, draw phrase markings, add accidentals, or decorate the melody with non-chord tones. To aid with sight-singing the melodies, students could write in the solfege underneath the notes.
There are probably even more ways to use this game on the SmartBoard, but these few ideas represent a vast array of musical skills and knowledge. Plus it's fun!
If anyone knows of more fun ways to use the SmartBoard in a music setting, please feel free to comment and share them!
