Wow - I thoroughly enjoyed this
I'm excited to see the stuff he whips up using Band-in-a-Box!
Deryk,
A lot of famed guitarists (and musicians) are using BIAB in assorted ways. Tommy Emmanuel said he's not computer savvy enough and lacks time to wade in to learn the software.
The software is currently being taught at the prestigious Julliard School of Music; Illinois State University; Green River School of Broadcasting; and many others worldwide. Professor Pat Pattison (Berklee School of Music) is adding it to his courses soon.
The software is well-known among music educators thanks, in part, to the efforts of Dr. Kim McCord, creator of the top-rated Special Needs Music Program in the US. Kids are learning the program easily in life.
Don,
That's an amazing list. I know you've had a hand in introducing and encouraging Dr. McCord to use the program. I was aware some of these institutions and instructors were using BiaB in their curriculum but there are a few that's new to me too.
It's a shame this forum does not have the privilege of having any educators that actively use the program contribute to the forum.
Deryk,
It may be a bit too soon to expect results but the group
"I Teach Music Technology" has nearly 9,000 music educator members using the software. Unfortunately, they have been on Summer break and just now returning to their classrooms. I fully expect great news soon.
The teacher of the Broadcasting Course at Green River College, Bob Rivers, is a longtime friend and the genius behind
Twisted Tunes. I'm encouraging him to join these forums.
A truism I'm finding; The more fame that they accrue, the more unapproachable they become. That is just a sad fact, not a condemnation.
I didn't mean to imply that 9,000 member educators are teaching the software but a goodly percentage. Everyone should know about BIAB by this time. Several assist me in propagation of PG products.
