Some Very Good Chrome Apps for Music Teachers - Kang Khoe

We received few requests from some of  our readers here in EdTech and mLearning asking about a good Chromebook app to use for creating and editing music. Below is a collection of what we would recommend in this regard. These are some of the most popular in the Music and Radio category in Chrome App Store. Although some of them say they are free but they actually are not. You will have to upgrade to keep using them after the free trail period is over. Using these apps you will be able to easily create and edit music and share your tracks with others.
