Introduction
In this episode of the Music Tech Teacher Podcast, I’ll be sharing some tips for using the random spinner called Wheel of Names. At first glance, it’s a very simple free tech tool. You can easily add some names to a wheel and then spin it to randomly pick someone. What I love about Wheel of Names is the ability to think outside the box and use it for more than just a name selection tool.
In this episode I’ll cover two areas:
- How to set up and customize your wheel
- Music-education specific ideas and examples for using the wheel

Hello! I’m Katie Argyle – an Australian music technology trainer and consultant with a passion for helping music teachers through my business Midnight Music.
I’m a qualified teacher but no, I don’t currently teach in a school. I help teachers through my online professional development space – the Midnight Music Community– where there are tutorial videos, courses, links and downloadable resources.
I like to focus on easy ways to incorporate technology into what you are already doing in your music curriculum through a range of creative projects. I also run live workshops and have presented at countless conferences and other music education events.
If you want simple, effective ideas for using technology in music education, I would LOVE to help you inside the Midnight Music Community.
