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 Mission 00:23 Guest Invitation and Teaser 01:01 Meet Nick Music Teacher 02:04 Music Room and Setup 02:32 Tech Tools in Music Class 04:11 AI in the Music Industry 06:18 Moises App Classroom Workflow 08:35 Beyond Music AI for Admin 10:01 Copilot and Voice Automation 10:51 Comparing Copilot ChatGPT Gemini 11:53 AI Worksheets Fast 12:29 Assessment Matrices Next 13:48 Teaching Prompts Critique 14:31 Relief Lesson Reality 15:23 AI Wins and Fails 16:25 Email Writing Workflow 17:24 Advice Start Small 18:31 Students and Suno Debate 20:32 Human Music Matters 21:12 Use AI Wisely Check Moises, here [https://moises.ai/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=moises&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23687505264&gbraid=0AAAAAo-sY65wfpz6o7lcr-IxhpQl-wRWM&gclid=CjwKCAjw857RBhAgEiwAI-1yKHnilIE_68DMJKs6v7skPb8AmP10YmWnFzPHeTi9m8oC7W-mfWxJlRoCLB0QAvD_BwE] Subscribe the the newsletter for podcast cheatsheets [https://yugen-learning.kit.com/a028a6f4f4] Find the YouTube version of this here [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf_k_to1rigiUFseW0QrMVetvpEVXR_iO] Go to this Facebook group [https://www.facebook.com/groups/learnaiforteachers/] to access the cheatsheet https://www.facebook.com/groups/learnaiforteachers/ [https://www.facebook.com/groups/learnaiforteachers/] Email: kane@learnaiquickly.com Bought to you by: https://learnaiquickly.com/ [https://learnaiquickly.com/]

Ai Update for Educators 8th June

Kane from Teachers AI Cafe discusses a Deloitte study describing 2026 as the year AI visibly reshapes the Australian labor market, noting that while employment may still grow, job vacancies—especially for entry-level roles—are beginning to fall as routine junior tasks become automated. He argues schools can’t simply ban AI or encourage using it for everything; instead, education must go deeper by teaching students to ask better questions, evaluate evidence and bias, explain reasoning, and combine technical confidence with human judgment, empathy, and communication. He urges career education to focus on how tasks within jobs are changing and suggests a balanced approach where some work remains AI-free to build thinking skills while other tasks use AI openly with required critique and justification, posing key questions for educators to discuss. 00:00 Channel Welcome 00:23 Weekly Tech Update 00:45 Deloitte AI Jobs Report 01:53 Entry Level Work Disappears 03:31 Teaching Response to AI 04:18 Deeper Learning Skills 05:04 Rethinking Career Education 05:45 Classroom AI Integration 06:30 Questions for Educators 08:06 Wrap Up and Next Steps Subscribe the the newsletter for podcast cheatsheets [https://yugen-learning.kit.com/a028a6f4f4] Find the YouTube version of this here [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf_k_to1rigiUFseW0QrMVetvpEVXR_iO] Go to this Facebook group [https://www.facebook.com/groups/learnaiforteachers/] to access the cheatsheet https://www.facebook.com/groups/learnaiforteachers/ [https://www.facebook.com/groups/learnaiforteachers/] Email: kane@learnaiquickly.com Bought to you by: https://learnaiquickly.com/ [https://learnaiquickly.com/]

Why AI Succeeds (or Fails) in Schools: Copilot Case Studies

Kane from Teachers AI Cafe examines why AI works in some schools and fails in others, arguing the difference is leadership, pedagogy, and change management rather than the tool itself. He reviews Microsoft Copilot case studies from England’s Discovery Trust (20 schools) and Brisbane Catholic Education (140 schools), highlighting reduced admin workload, strong training and governance, and classroom uses like differentiated writing scaffolds from student vocabulary, inquiry-question generation, and accessibility supports such as for dyslexia. He contrasts these with Los Angeles Unified’s 2024 Ed chatbot, which collapsed within months amid financial issues, limited teacher training, weak value for students, and governance concerns. Key takeaways include investing in professional learning, using AI to support teacher judgment and student thinking, and implementing slowly with clear guardrails and evaluation. 00:00 Welcome to Teachers AI Cafe 00:20 From Smartphones to AI 00:57 Why AI Succeeds or Fails 02:04 Copilot Case Study UK 02:44 Discovery Trust Rollout 04:27 Workload Wins and Classroom Use 06:31 Brisbane Catholic Education 07:29 Student Agency and Accessibility 10:00 Guardrails and Verification 10:59 When AI Projects Fail LAUSD 13:05 Clippy Problem and Lessons 15:06 What Successful Schools Do 16:06 What It Means for Teachers 17:28 Cobots and Final Takeaways 18:43 Wrap Up and Next Steps Subscribe the the newsletter for podcast cheatsheets [https://yugen-learning.kit.com/a028a6f4f4] Find the YouTube version of this here [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf_k_to1rigiUFseW0QrMVetvpEVXR_iO] Go to this Facebook group [https://www.facebook.com/groups/learnaiforteachers/] to access the cheatsheet https://www.facebook.com/groups/learnaiforteachers/ [https://www.facebook.com/groups/learnaiforteachers/] Email: kane@learnaiquickly.com Bought to you by: https://learnaiquickly.com/ [https://learnaiquickly.com/]
