In my ongoing test of iPad apps that could replace my MacBook Pro laptop, I find myself once again searching for the best graphic tool to remove backgrounds or features within a photo.
Here is my list of favourite apps, in order of preference, all apps for iPad (some available for Android/Google Play). Please let me know your favourites… there are not many out there that do the job for more…

Blooms 21
A few years ago, I blogged about the importance of allowing students the freedom to engage in musical exploration and risk-free play to discover sound creation ideas and possibilities. This was my slogan I used at that time…
Creation first… theory second
It made my day to come across an article written by Adam Hart at the University of Salford discussing this very notion based on Flipping…

Fostering Musical Language
We are living in an age where traditional music notation is no longer a prerequisite to being successful in music creation or performance. Traditionally, music education has been driven by factual knowledge over musical creation. Technology has opened music creation to the masses producing music styles that involve traditional composition with notation programs (Finale, Sibelius, etc.), …

After two months of summer reflection, I’ve made the following list of apps I’ve used, some paid and most free to accomplish many tasks in place of my laptop. App smashing is the art of using the best abilities of many apps to achieve your goal. I’m excited to share them with you. Please let me know new apps you’ve found that help inspire creation and/or on-the-go working from anywhere.

App-etisers for May
I’m excited to share some apps that are new, or just discovered. I will highlight which features are transformational in the way we (students, teachers, and everyone else) can aid in personal music or art education, whether at school, home, or on the go.

Music Making - Spring 2017
Music Making – Spring 2017
Here’s a glimpse at what software/apps I am using frequently to explore and create music (notation-type apps).
There are many companies offering incredible music-making apps for mobile devices that make music creation easy and inexpensive (most free). I have been a user of Finale for Mac for over 25 years. With the advent of tablet technology over the past 8 years, my allegiance has changed…

I Saw Three Ships
I Saw Three Ships
This is a brass quintet arrangement of the English carol, ‘I saw three ships come sailing in’ done exclusively on Notion for iPhone (mostly on a daily bus ride to work!). Sometimes, saved to iCloud, I opened it on my iPad or Notion for Mac to have more screen space. This piece highlights the sampled sounds of the London Symphony Orchestra and others, brass specifically tested and highlighted…

Gregorian Christmas Piece
https://soundcloud.com/marshallshaw/gregorian-christmas
This is my arrangement of a Gregorian chant I grew up with.
The theme is represented by the characteristically dark Cor Anglaise (English Horn) and later, bassoons in their high register. A light texture of pizzicato strings gently supports the melody. The clarinet briefly signals a motif that is used throughout the latter half of the…
