Jacob Swanson on Music Technology at LDNE

By Jacob Swanson

LDNE Music Student

Here at Lyons-Decatur Northeast we have a class called Music Technology. It is a class where students write articles for the newspaper paper, organize and produce all secondary concerts, and to perform as the Northeast iPad Ensemble.

This is a unique opportunity for Lyons Decatur students because not many schools have a chance to do this. Every 1 out of 10 schools have a Music Te

chnology class which is a really cool addition to the concerts we have.

At all of the concerts, the Music Technology students take care of the sound, lights,  take a video of the whole concert, and to make the concert run smoothly. In Music Technology, my favorite part is playing music. Currently we are working hard to play “This is my Kind of Night” by Luke Bryan. We have done all different genres of music but this is our first country song. In the past we have played “Thriller” by Michael Jackson, “Sail” by Awolnation and many other songs.
