Implementation of Web-supported Music Instruction - Alan Anderson, Allan Ellis, NAWEB 2003

Abstract: The advent of multimedia computers has led to some innovative approaches to teaching music theory via the Web, and recent advances in desktop video technologies have made it possible to teach elements of practical performance skills online. Together these technologies may have the potential to drive a transformation in the way music education is delivered. However, the effectiveness of such transformation is dependent upon the ability and willingness of music teachers to make a conceptual leap in their approach to the teaching of music. Online course developers and consultants need to keep this in mind and work collaboratively with music teachers and students to determine their specific needs in terms of Web-based music teaching and learning resources. This paper reports on how such an approach led to the implementation of Web-supported learning for several groups of music students, in Southern Cross University’s (SCU) Bachelor of Contemporary Music Program and the local community.
