Bridging Tech and Music Education, UNESCO Approved
In this technological era of the 21st century, the integration of technology into education, and more specifically music education, is essential. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation, or UNESCO, has put forward four questions on technology and its uses in education: Is it appropriate? Is it equitable? Is it scalable? Is it sustainable? MusicEDU is very effective in answering these questions, pioneering in the most effective ways to use technology to boost, not replace, traditional music education.
Is it appropriate?
As a leader in online music education, MusicEDU stands out and aligns seamlessly with many curricula and pedagogies. MusicEDU’s approach is not one that replaces traditional methods but rather one that enhances the programs that already exist. To offer an engaging and dynamic educational experience, MusicEDU integrates cutting-edge software and music tools that cater to the diverse needs of teachers and students. The appropriateness of MusicEDU is in its ability to be used for differentiation and catering to diverse learners.Â
Is it equitable?
In order to level the educational playing field, one step forward is to make education as accessible to everyone as possible, and that is one of the things that MusicEDU is known for. MusicEDU is available to anyone, anywhere in the world. It’s incredibly easy to jump into using the MusicEDU Suite, with a straightforward setup process and many videos and tutorials to guide you along the way. More recently, MusicEDU has added English and Spanish audio play buttons for their ebooks in multiple programs to cater to even more students’ needs. No matter the access to technology and resources, MusicEDU can work with each and every teacher to ensure every student feels engaged and excited about their music classes. Â
Is it scalable?
Scalability is all about growth and development, two essential parts of educational technology. MusicEDU understands this as a company that has grown immensely since its beginnings in 2011. The MusicEDU Suite allows schools worldwide to upgrade their existing music programs and curricula to suit each of their students’ needs. Teachers can use MusicEDU one program at a time or one after another, ensuring another level of scalability. MusicEDU is constantly updating and improving, whether it is adding new sessions or updating software videos, always aligning with current trends and advancements in both music and education. MusicEDU is the perfect example of scalable technology that adjusts and grows alongside schools and students.Â
Is it sustainable?
Making sure the technology that you bring in and use is sustainable is essential. MusicEDU knows this and is committed to making sure the MusicEDU Suite is always fresh and impactful for students and teachers. MusicEDU is constantly updating and keeping up with the latest music, technology and education trends. Plus, they’re not leaving teachers in the lurch; they’ve got their backs with solid training and support, including certificates for all the professional development that MusicEDU can provide teachers. MusicEDU also helps teachers utilise their current equipment, hardware and software and supports them in implementing new resources as well. It is always a trustworthy go-to resource for both music students and teachers.Â
MusicEDU isn’t just a platform; it’s like a guiding star in music education, confidently shouting “yes” to UNESCO’s big questions. It’s not just about being a good fit, fair, and flexible – being around for the long run is a big deal too.Â
