Orange Music Education (OME) launched its Musicboard2 at the annual Conference of NAfME, the National Association for Music Educators, in Nashville Tennessee recently.

The Orange Musicboard2 is the only interactive whiteboard that actually allows teachers and students to play the notes they have written, bringing the notes instantly alive.

It allows students and teachers to hear the notes they have written on it. It was built partly as a practical response to OFSTED concerns about the teaching of music theory in British schools, according to the firm.

Jerry Goldman, head of OME commented “Following our success at the NAfME conference, the Orange MUSICBOARD2 is now back ordered and we are expecting interest to substantially increase further throughout the USA in 2016.”

Features include:

Command and note activation using unique remote wand

Board sensitivity adjuster – teachers can tailor the board’s sensitivity to the wands
