The Instructional Technologies and Methodologies component provides a comprehensive review of historic, current, and emerging instructional technologies and methodologies useful for teaching in the classroom and studio. Instructional Technologies, Methodologies, and Resources also provides opportunity for member commentary and discussion.
The Instructional Technologies and Methodologies component meets the need of musicians and music teachers for (1) information concerning historic, recent, and emerging hardware, software, methods, resources, and approaches relevant to classroom and studio music teaching, and (2) a fair and equitable assessment of these items.
College Music Symposium recognizes that rapid and substantial changes have occurred in educational delivery methods in higher education over the past twenty-five years and that the rate of change continues to accelerate. For example, today, computerized ear-training hardware and software is a standard component of aural skills development within music school curricula, and computerized, "smart" practice rooms can approximate the acoustics of special concert halls around the world. College Music Symposium recognizes that not all technologies and methods will prove over time to be worthwhile or valuable, and that the field of music will embrace and evolve toward some technologies and methods but not others. By making available informed assessments and opinions of music-related instructional technologies and methods, the profession may keep abreast of significant trends and needs in the field.
