I found this audio synchronization activity easy because as a musician, I have spent many hours playing with recording equipment so the whole process was not daunting and quite familiar to me. I can see this technique being used outside the classroom, possibly for assignment work where students could actually go to SlideShare and watch presentations that you, as a learning manager, have posted to work as activities within assignments or other forms of research.

Form INCOMPOTECH, I downloaded a a jazz recording called "Shades of Spring" It's a beautiful and simple piece with only upright bass, piano and drum kit and I really think it captures the mood of "Spring"

Of course, as a musician, it would be easy for me to use in my teaching to describe many things such as the "Swing" genre, conventional ways of arranging different instruments in an ensemble, the role of a rhythm section with a solo instrument or musical timbre.

Also, here is a photo of me playing some jazz in the Mackay Big Band in November 2009
