REMOVING BARRIERS THROUGH MUSIC TECHNOLGY

The CUTE MEMORY TEAM have been away for the last couple of weeks in the NORTH of ENGLAND - working with a range of secondary schools bringing in the latest MUSIC TECHNOLOGY ideas and hardware into their everyday MUSIC CURRICULUM.

One of our greatest successes was the introduction of MIGHTY POCKET PUNCHED SIZED KORG KAOSSILATOR - This was a massive hit with both the STUDENTS AND TEACHING STAFF ALIKE:

Here is some of the the positive feedback from ONE of the new SCHOOL ACADEMIES we now work directly alongside:

"Your KORG KAOSSILATOR system would be a really useful tool in school as the results are virtually instant. The majority of student in KS3 and 4 do not play musical instruments as this is often an expense that many families in the area cannot afford. We often therefore end up with students who are keen to learn about music, compose, create, DJ etc but without any kind of formal music training. For these students the Korg would be REALLY useful as they can access music creation with a simple interface which allows them to create and record without any prior musical training or without having to learn more complex software such as CUBASE or REASON before they can start recording - even then they would normally require keyboard skills or have to enter musical data with a mouse by hand which is very slow and therefore not an engaging and creative method of working. The Korg allows hand on instant musical gratification. It also allows groups or individuals to work in other spaces around the department or in cross curricular projects with other departs e.g. media, art, ict drama"
