• Resumen

  • Present-day lives are lived in technology, not just with technology. Where is your mobile phone now? – and we still call it a phone, but it has many more functions that have become interwoven in our daily lives. Children have experience of digital technologies in their everyday lives at home and this is changing the ways that they can engage with music and make music in their own playful ways. In this presentation I will suggest that the new digital age calls for a new model of music education. I will acknowledge the anxieties and concerns that may surround the introduction of new technologies in music education, and suggest that digital technologies challenge us to return to and re-think the fundamental questions of music education. It is now very commonplace to say that children are growing up in a digital world where mobile phones, the internet and many other forms of digital device are part of everyday life. But what does that really mean in reality and what does that mean for music education? I will start this paper by describing two small events that I observed in my own everyday life at home with my grandchildren. These are short, unremarkable events that would have passed me by with very little thought had I not at the same time been thinking about this topic of technology in music education
