Sibelius’ Groovy collection works very much like GarageBand or Mixcraft (linear graphic sequencer) for early childhood education. These are also perfect solutions for differentiated instruction with special needs students in secondary school (6-12). Choose the software that is developmentally appropriate. Best of all, purchasing these products for use with children with special needs is covered under the IDEA law. Your school’s SpEd Department can purchase them for you! |

Propellerhead’s Reason is a staple for many music educators and professionals. What I like best about the newer versions of Reason is that it now includes the linear graphic digital editor like other programs. Along with the virtual studio rack, it’s a great product. |

Band-In-A-Box has been around for many years and is still used by the best educators! This is not only great software for the music technology classroom but a must have for band, orchestra and chorus teachers. Also fantastic for the private teacher. You and your students create your own accompaniments. Excellent for teaching improvisation in all kinds of styles. |
