SCHOOL ENVIRONMENTS FOR A MUSIC LAB
The layout and construction of a music lab depends on either classroom size or on access to a
computer lab. With these specific restrictions in mind, three common setups of a music lab in a
school environment will handle most situations. For educators whose only option is to transform
their home classroom into a music lab, the “1 Teacher, 1 Computer, 1 Projector” layout works
well. Educators, however, who have access to a computer lab, will make set-up choices based
on whether the lab is for music exclusively or is a shared, general use facility.
In this setup, a designated PC is used
to run Mixcraft. An audio/computer
interface is connected to the PC through
USB or firewire protocols and acts as a
liaison for MIDI instruments, electronic
instruments, and microphones.
Situated at the front of the classroom
is a projector and projector screen
that shows the main PC’s screen to
students. Alongside the screen are
two monitor speakers that play back
audio from the Mixcraft session.

When an educator
does not have access
to a computer lab
or extra classroom,
the basic setup of a
computer, projector,
and monitor speakers
will be sufficient to
create an in-house
music lab.
Discussion: Depending on the layout of the classroom, it is important to keep in mind how
students will engage with lesson plans and Mixcraft. For instance, students should be able to see
the educator’s computer screen clearly: coupling a main computer with a projector and projection
screen will allow a classroom of students to follow a handout or lesson plan easily. This approach
might also be effective in familiarizing students with the basics of audio software, running simple
lesson plans, or orchestrating class-sized projects. One drawback of such a setup, however, is
that only one student or teacher at a time will be able to use Mixcraft. Nevertheless, for class-
sized lesson plans where the educator oversees the use of audio hardware with Mixcraft for such
projects as Rap Improvisation or STOMP, this arrangement is ideal.
