Apparently high school band class is getting re-vamped.
River Hill High in Baltimore is going to get a music technology lab, where students can learn to use music-making programs on the computer, like GarageBand, Logic and Sibelius. They'll also have electric pianos, guitars and 20 Mac computers. All of this added up to a $120,000 cost.
Apparently right now the high schoolers are just able to test the equiptment in class. It will mainly be used for after-hours classes for high schoolers and adults, and summer camps.
Representatives from the school say that they want to make music appeal to those who aren't interested in classical instruments or orchestra. Plus, the technology is more representative of modern music.
