Carolina Springs Elementary Students Use iPad Technology to Make Music

A group of fifth-grade students have performed at several events this year.

The Carolina Springs Elementary iPad Ensemble will finish a second successful year after performing at the AdvanceED Fall Conference, Glen Forest Elementary and Carolina Springs Elementary holiday and school assemblies.

Music Teacher David Headrick formed the ensemble last school year after watching a video of an iPad band on YouTube. A group of teachers and administrators selected students to perform in the school’s first ensemble that played for the AdvanceED team that visited the district as well as at the 2012 Chick-fil-A Leadercast Conference.

This year the group consists of Carolina Springs fifth-grade students Adam Graybill, Jamison Belec, Kendra Thompson, Samantha Hoslins, Gabby Bustamante, Murray Newell, Horacio Honoret and Preston Hage. The talented group is directed by Music Teachers Barbara Burns and David Headrick.
