The purpose of this study was to examine what factors influence the implementation of technology in the music classroom. Thirty-one Kansas Music Teachers (n=31) completed a web-based survey about technology in the music classroom regarding Technology Implementation, Technology Availability, Teacher Technology Self-Efficacy, Teacher Attitudes Towards the Use of Technology, and Technology Professional Development. This study found Availability of Technology and Technology Professional Development were significant in the prediction of Technology Implementation in the music classroom. Although Technology Self-Efficacy and Attitudes Towards Technology in the Classroom were not found to be significant in the prediction of technology implementation, subject responses pertaining to these factors were unexpectedly consistent, with most subjects reporting high levels of Technology Self-Efficacy and highly positive Attitudes Towards Technology in the Classroom.
