Since my childhood, technology has been rapidly changing and expanding. When I was in elementary school, my general music teacher didn't use electronics, unless it was a television to watch the musical. We learned notation and rhythms by giant flash cards and Kodály syllables. Now-a-days, I'm sure that the general music classes are much more supplied with technology, for those schools that still have funding for their music programs. In some cases, I've heard of elementary schools getting grants for Ipads and Macs to enhance learning experiences.
If I taught a general music course, I would strongly advocate for iPads in my classroom. There are millions of applications on Apple's online store. Hundreds of them are geared towards all sorts of musical function for all ages. Now that Apple has come out with a mini model, they're a little more affordable. The user interface is very simple and easy for children to adapt to.
