TTTV020: How technology is changing music education with Simon Rushby

We hear reports every day about how technology is changing the world, for better and for worse, but what is technology doing for music education? I'm sure there are plenty of teachers out there who have yet to try bringing any kind of tech into their music lessons. After all, what if what you've done for the last 20 years is working, why should you change it now? If you use technology right, it should enhance the way you already teach, not change it. Whether you simply ask your student to record something they need to remember, take a photo of a hand position or practice their sight singing with the Aural Trainer, there's always a simple way for you to jump in. Apps and software can be invaluable additions to your teaching, and create "flipped" learning. When you flip the learning, you don't have to spend time teaching something you have already taught, saving you valuable lesson time (something I know we all struggle with!). Simon has tons of great ideas to share with us, and I hope today's podcast will inspire you to try out something new this week.
