Abstract

Applying technology in music education is not always obvious for music teachers. Pre-service music teachers should be trained in technology-supported music pedagogy, but this requires more than isolated lessons, short projects and ad hoc support. This article reports on an exploration towards a structural implementation of digital pedagogy in higher music education (i.e. a bachelor of music in schools). This exploration was based on student-centred approaches that were iteratively developed over time and have been investigated through an action research strategy. The aim of this article is to inform about the design of the approaches, such as the structure of courses with its assignments, participants and external collaborations, and turning points and insights that steered the approach. Focus is put on the so-called technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK), technology acceptance and students’ motivation. In the end, this article presents recommendations for designing education that prepares students to enhance their practice with technology: (1) adapt to your students; (2) be concrete to your students; and (3) embrace collaboration. This article concludes with explaining the value of these recommendations beyond higher music teacher education by providing examples of how these recommendations can be translated to higher music performance education.
