Kaan 3 is a revolutionary new audio, video and data networking solution designed specifically for school and college music departments. This next generation technology transforms traditional ICT provision into a fully "joined up" departmental infrastructure that offers powerful new teaching and classroom management tools.
Kaan 3 provides powerful tools that allow teachers to structure, focus and control the use of electronic keyboards in the classroom. Using the Kaan 3 Software Suite teachers can:
- Monitor any student keyboard
- Talk to students
- Record student work
- Demonstrate to students
- Allow students to perform to the class
- Provide backing tracks for students
- Mute student keyboards
- Broadcast listening material
Each Kaan 3 station provides up to 3 headphone sockets, one for the teacher and two for students. This allows the teacher to listen to student stations whilst walking round the classroom.
A number of audio sources may be connected to each station including computers, microphones, guitars and mixers.
Benefits include:
- Structured and focused learning
- Effective communication & control
- Instant monitoring & recording
- High quality audio & video distribution
- Powerful teaching tools
- Assessment of students work
- Secure and flexible access to work
Kaan 3 consists of software running on a central computer and a series of Electronic Multimedia Interfaces (EMIs) located throughout the department, all linked together to form a high quality audio, video and data network. The Kaan 3 Software Suite allows teachers to focus and control learning, to record and assess student progress, and to monitor and communicate effectively. Kaan 3 is the vital component that unleashes the true potential of ICT in the modern music classroom.
In a combined Kaan 3 Keyboard / Computer Suite students can control their own backing tracks and backup work from the portable keyboard’s on-board sequencer.
EMIs can also be situated in practice rooms, ensemble rooms and recording studios allowing work to be monitored and recorded from each zone and providing the teacher with an effective communication solution across the deparment.
