In this post I want to provide some background information on why I chose to use the show in my classroom, how I use it, why I participated in the news story and my reflections on the entire experience. Before being asked to be part of the story I had responsed to a survey on the use of American Idol in the music classroom by the National Association for Music Education.

It will probably air on ABC around May 21st or 22nd - I’ll post the details when I know them. I posted my response to the National Association of Music Education inquiry about the use of American Idol in the classroom a few months back. It was a great experience to be able to share with the crew and viewers of ABC world news report a couple of ways American Idol can be used in the music classroom. I was also very proud of my students who applied what they have been working on through their responses to questions, their sharing of original compositions and their constructive feedback to each other.

Of course, we are use to Simon Cowell from the UK series Pop Idol! I've noticed that many high schools here in the northwest of England are holding their own 'versions' of these programs and they are packing the kids in for lunchtime concerts and evening showcases etc. It has certainly done a lot to get kids singing and, hopefully, singing well. Many teachers over here are making use of various karaoke software packages like Van Basco to help provide backing tracks and the like.

It was interesting to read some of the quotes by various music teachers, though it seemed to focus mostly on the performance aspect of music education and the show. I posted my response to some questions posed by the National Association for Music Education about this topic a couple of months ago on my personal blog. I wonder what impact the show will have in music classrooms after a longer period of time?
