The Digital Skills 4 Music Teachers (DISK) project, led by the Reina Sofía School of Music, in partnership with Munster Technological University (Ireland), University of Tartu (Estonia) and Grupo DEX (Spain), was born after the difficulties encountered in music education during the Covid-19 health pandemic, which highlighted the urgent need for training appropriate to the context of artistic education.
Thanks to funding from the European Commission through the Erasmus + National Agency in Spain and the SEPIE (Spanish Service for the Internationalization of Education), after nine months of research in which surveys and interviews were conducted in Spain, Ireland and Estonia, and after examining existing training programs related to key topics identified by a broad and diverse group of educators, the DISK consortium has designed a training itinerary around the following four thematic modules:
- Safety and ethics for music teachers in the digital age
- Collaboration, teaching environment and new technologies
- Online music pedagogy
- Specific digital skills for music teachers
This free course will be taught online in English between October and December, and is aimed at music educators (teachers of music theory and instruments, ensemble directors, music school administrators, etc.) who wish to improve and/or recycle their skills to become better teachers and/or managers within the educational context.
Each module has a duration of ten hours, and upon completion, participants will receive a certificate from the University of Tartu. Registration will be open until October 21.
