Digital Skills 4 Music Teachers

Digital Skills 4 Music Teachers (DISK) is a project conceived in 2022 with the aim of contributing to the digitisation of music education in Europe. DISK addresses an identified gap in the training of music teachers, namely in the field of technology and pedagogical skills required for a different teaching environment marked by new technologies.

The difficulties encountered during the COVID-19 pandemic in music teaching highlighted the urgent need for training appropriate to the context of arts education. Today, music education is moving towards blended learning that takes advantage of the benefits offered by online learning and also makes use of the improvements offered by technology for face-to-face teaching, combining the best of both environments.
 

Digital Skills for Music Teachers also addresses the special idiosyncrasies of each subject in the field of music education and the relationships between students and teachers that differ from any other discipline. The specificities of this sector of education require a different learning environment and pedagogy.

The project is currently in the research and development phase, and is available to the public at the following link:
