6 Technology alone is not enough. [It is] technology married with liberal arts, married with the humanities, that yields us the result that makes our hearts sing. --Steve Jobs, ipad 2 Introduction, March 2, 2011

10 The Future is Now All textbooks to be digital by 2017 (2015 in Florida). Big question: which device? STEM initiatives are the trend, using valuable elective choice. What happens when you send a message that music is not a technology course? Every 1:1 notebook initiative sends a message that technology is only for the "core." Tablet/iPad initiatives send a message that technology is for all subjects. Meet "digital natives" at the intersection of technology and the arts. Empower students to do more with technology and to be more accountable than they ever imagined in music, exceeding National and State standards

33 Digital Music Soapbox Paper music is frail, ultimately consumable, and permanent Publishers should make it easy and cheap to legally convert your existing music to digital formats including PDF and MusicXML We don't want every publisher to have their own format, and DRM causes hassles when it comes to future proofing Publishers could retail printing staff & shipping staff to scanning/editing duties; local music companies could switch to compliance agents. Digital copies should cost significantly less than printed copies
