As the calendar roles into August, my thoughts turn to CATC Camp, our Board’s annual summer 3 day, self directed, computer PD session for staff. This year I will be taking some time to explore music applications with the iPad. Some of the things on my explore list are:
MIDI Interface for iPad/iPhone/iPod
What am I looking for? — apps and ideas suitable for classroom use, applications that are easily used in the student performance context and applications that can interact with OSAPAC licensed software (for Ontario publicly funded schools)
As always, I am looking forward to this learning opportunity.

Mark,
My son uses the iRig App for practicing and loves it. The effects are great and he’s even used it at a gig to plug directly into a PA yet still give him the sound of a huge Marshall stack. As always, the really good amp models and effects cost extra but are well worth the price. Hardware wise, it couldn’t be easier. Plug in your guitar, plug in your headphones and rock on.
