Audacity

Learning the audacity program has been wonderfully helpful, and I think will prove a good resource for me as a future teacher. Being able to manipulate sounds is a wonderful tool for a teacher of a student. Editing music can be useful in many ways, include performance or classroom examples. Having students learn to use audacity could also be a great way to introduce the manipulation of sounds, rhythms, pitches, etc. The fact that it's free to download means it is accessible to all teacher, and accessible for students who have access to a computer lab in their schools.
