USB Music Keyboard
Students will benefit from the use of a USB Music Keyboard. The keyboard will allow the
student to
enter notes easily into the Sibelius Notation package.
Students will have a keyboard to practice and try ideas for theory
classes. A 2-octave keyboard is cost effective, easier to
store, and easier to transport. You may benefit from a larger
keyboard, depending on the pathes you take in the department.USB 2-button Mouse (Mac users)
Mac Users may find the "right-clicking" for context menus helpful in both Sibelius and Microsoft Office.Personal Audio Recording Device

ill record
themselves during practice
sessions, evaluate, and reflect on their progress. Possible
