How can how using Virtual Instrument Software benefit your ICT Music Curriculum?

|
|
Adding virtual instrument software to the music ICT suite in your school can significantly enhance your students’ ability to explore, develop and create the musical sounds of today and those gone by. Whether it’s for composition, recording or performance, here are some revolutionary music resources that you’ll use again and again.
More value
Most virtual instrument software packages are far more powerful than the hardware options available today with some adding more than 10 times the total number of high quality sounds that are accessible. And these are usually all easily integrated with your existing sequencing software such as Cubase.
Your budget goes further
You get more but at much less of the cost of most synths on the market today.
More Space
There’s no extra hardware so there’s no extra space taken up! Everything can work from your existing PC or Mac. You can prioritise other equipment or make the space more practical for more students.
Freedom to move
If you are using portable or lap-top computers then you can move all those instruments at once. Just move the computer and everything goes with you from classroom, to studio, to stage.
Try them out first
Most virtual instrument software products allow you to try out free demos either online or by using a demo CD. This means that you and your students can get familiar and try out the products before
Up-to-date
In most cases you don’t need to keep on investing in expensive hardware to get the latest sounds. Using software means that new releases are usually made available in upgrade format so you can easily continue to add to your original product and protect the investment that the school budget originally made.
E Learning Credits
These are available to spend on software products but not on hardware. So, you can use your school’s Elcs to buy thousands of instruments on one piece of software without dipping into the school music budget! Link to ts col.
