AI in the Music Classroom: Nick on Moises, Human Creativity, and Smarter Teacher Workflows

Kane welcomes Nick, head of music at a low-SES north metropolitan WA school, to discuss practical AI use in music education and teacher admin. Nick describes his long technology journey, current classroom tools (iPads, GarageBand, Reaper, Ableton Live), and his view of AI as a tool rather than a finished musical product, emphasizing human authenticity and collaboration. He highlights Moises as a standout app for real-time transposing, slowing songs, separating stems, and extracting chords and lyrics to support singing, instrumental practice, and analysis—saving significant time compared with traditional workflows. Nick also uses AI for professional emails, images, worksheets, relief work, and is exploring AI-generated assessments and Microsoft Copilot for integrated, privacy-focused admin support, advising teachers to start small, play, and use AI responsibly.00:00 Show Intro and Mission00:23 Guest Invitation and Teaser01:01 Meet Nick Music Teacher02:04 Music Room and Setup02:32 Tech Tools in Music Class04:11 AI in the Music Industry06:18 Moises App Classroom Workflow08:35 Beyond Music AI for Admin10:01 Copilot and Voice Automation10:51 Comparing Copilot ChatGPT Gemini11:53 AI Worksheets Fast12:29 Assessment Matrices Next13:48 Teaching Prompts Critique14:31 Relief Lesson Reality15:23 AI Wins and Fails16:25 Email Writing Workflow17:24 Advice Start Small18:31 Students and Suno Debate20:32 Human Music Matters21:12 Use AI WiselyCheck Moises, hereSubscribe the the newsletter for podcast cheatsheetsFind the YouTube version of this hereGo to this Facebook group to access the cheatsheethttps://www.facebook.com/groups/learnaiforteachers/Email: [email protected] to you by: https://learnaiquickly.com/
