ICT to support non-music specialists in teaching music. Introducing Skoog töo - a musical world for the interactive whiteboard.

Skoog töo is an interactive whiteboard environment for teaching, learning and creating music.  Supporting non-music specialists in providing a broad music education which includes performing, composing, listening, reviewing and evaluating (helping to deliver one of the key recommendations from the 2011 Henley report).

Technology can bring 'music-making' opportunities to all children regardless of ability or experience: 'Children learn to talk by experimenting and listening; they can learn to make music by experimenting and listening--unless we stop them!  Place children in surroundings that are full of invitations to learn.' - E. Sheehy, Colombia University

Skoog töo is an 'invitation to learn'.  An opportunity to explore music without the need for instrumental skills.   Supporting children’s natural musicality and providing a learning environment that allows children to explore music through creative play and discovery.

Get hands on with an introduction to Skoog töo and find out about the pedagogy and research behind it.
