You are right. Sharing music is the main focus. The podcast let's them share outside the classroom, too. I do Podcasting with kids in my two most advanced classes. They can't even begin to put together a podcast unless they have two complete compositions in hand they created that year and those compositions were presented to the class and commented on by everyone. I use the Podcast as a way to introduce Audio Engineering. They need to manage the two voices, audio track(music) and any effects track (sound effects, etc.) they want to add. Aside from levels, compression and eq play a big role. It's really about knowing what they want to hear and listening to what is actually coming out of the speakers/headphones as opposed to what they THINK they hear. in a lot of ways, it's training their ear much like and ensemble player or conductor.

I hadn’t thought about the benefit kids get from learning how to mix sound, but that’s a good point. Mainly, though, in a music classroom, I think giving kids an opportunity to share compositions that they have come up with would be fantastic.
