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 a gap identified in the training of music teachers, specifically in the field of technology and the pedagogical skills needed for a different teaching environment shaped by the new technologies.
The difficulties encountered during the COVID-19 pandemic in teaching music highlighted the urgent need for training appropriate to the context of arts education. Nowadays, the music education is walking towards a combined teaching that takes the advantages that online teaching offers and also embraces the improvements that technology offers for live teaching, combining the best of both environments.
DISK also addresses the special idiosyncrasy that each subject of the music education field has and the relationships established between students and teachers that also differ from any other discipline. The specificities of this sector of education require a different learning environment and a different pedagogy.
This Erasmus + project is funded by the European Union through SEPIE, and is led by the Escuela Superior de Música Reina Sofía (Spain) in partnership with Munster Technological University (Ireland), Academia de la Cultura Viljand (Estonia) and DEX Group (Spain).
