In what ways are music educators using the IPAD?

Hi everyone!  I am a music educator who has received an IPAD from my school.  However, I have no idea what apps are good for students grades K-8.  Have music teachers used this device successfully in the classroom?  Please respond!  Thanks.

Here are a few suggestions:

GarageBand- full music editor, built-in instruments, ability to sync with Mac version, add voice over or singing
Magic Piano - fun piano
Falling Stars - Fun visual instrument - opening screen is a Trident ad
Singing Fingers - great app for mixing drawing , instruments and sounds

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource

Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and

other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching

practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
