Listening and playing music is a great treatment for mental illness.
This is suitable for both major and indie labels.

This article talks about the importance of exposing music to children at an early age because it increases their brain development and can have a positive impact as they get older. The author explains a study that multiple professors conducted on kids around 7-8 years old and exposed them to musical training for two years compared to kids with no musical training, but exposed to a different extra-curricular activity. The results showed in a cat scan that the kids who had musical training for two years had more brain development and growth compared to the other group of kids with a different activity. This article is very interesting and resourceful because the author had a guest writer and included many resourceful names that conducted the study on the kids and had very important results.

Curious article from Microsoft. Convincing successful dancers and Musically talented women to covertly convert talent into computer and scienc geeks may not be a winning argument guys....This article shows the limits of the male mind to comprehend the mind and motivations of others. Now the STEAM or just STEM debate may be worth bringing up if Microsoft can show how developing programs and engineering for those creative fields opens creative doors and how creative thinking and skills open door for enginneeering teams?

This is rescooped via iPads, MakerEd and More in Education giving twelve Mac recording applications formulated to assist music instructors teach digital audio recording, writing and mixing songs right on your Mac. Although these editing applications are great learning tools, easy to use and have mastered sound libraries, I found them to be very hard or impossible to convert with little to no compatibility with audio industry standard equipment. Educatorstechnology.com is a site containing teaching tools used for educational purposes making it a reliable source for audio industry professionals.

For the most part, I would agree with the apps specified as good for music teachers. Although, it could be integrated to fewer apps, considering the main function of some of them are available in other apps on this list. For example, DM1-The Drum Machine is on this list, but several of the apps have drum machines imbedded in them. Some of theses apps are no longer available, showing the lack of longevity amongst many apps created for the purpose of creating music. This article was originally created by educatorstechnology.com, and as far as credibility goes, this article is completely opinionated. The website is powered by “Blogger,” and fails to provide any reparable resources as being fully reliable. Needless to say, it is not a major source of information for Audio Industry Professionals.

I've had my own experience with a few of these apps! Recommending GarageBand if you have an ear for creating your on jams. You can create an entire song with GarageBand. It can be tricky when buying beats from other people when you want to write your own music and have the rights to everything.

"While brain training games and apps may not live up to their hype, it is well established that certain other activities and lifestyle choices can have neurological benefits"

Garage Band is an excellent program for the classroom. I have found that it develops social and personal capability in students without requiring a lot of skill. With so many different tracks, recordings, beats to choose from students can put together a whole song (that sounds great!) just on the computer. It makes them feel like a music producer. The end product is so satisfying for students. You can upload your creations using the Garage Band app to other platforms - Facebook, Soundcloud or Youtube. Students could create an online portfolio of music they have produced using Garage Band.

I'll have to try a few of these - I personally have used 'GuitarToolkit' consistently for years now; both as a musician and an educator. The simplicity of Garage Band makes it a fantastic educational tool.

Thats a great idea. Garage band is awesome. You could also let students focus on one instrument each and get them to collaborate on tracks. These could be uploaded on the cloud for students to track the progress and then used as samples for others in the future.
