At present, digital technology provides innumerable new possibilities in the field of musical education. Its tools are, a valuable mediator in teaching-learning processes at the levels of elementary and university education, and specialisation. This study examines the knowledge and use of technological resources in the specific sphere of teaching in elementary, intermediate and superior stages in music conservatories and schools of music. By means of an online questionnaire administered to 82 teachers in this field, significant data was obtained regarding said knowledge and use of technological tools. These results provide evidence that those tools are scarcely applied, whether in preparing classes or in learning processes in the classroom.

The paper’s objective is to depict the current situation regarding the use of digital tools on the part of musical education teachers and students to teach and learn music. The research tool used is a questionnaire designed and validated psychometrically by the authors, focusing on eight types of technological musical tools. The questionnaire was distributed through social networks, providing a valid sample of 274 participants in Spain. The analysis of the results reveals very little knowledge regarding digital tools for present-day musical education. It also highlights that the age of the participants does not correlate with the type of technological resources used in classrooms, leading to the conclusion that said resources are not a factor that impede acquisition of digital competence. However, substantial differences are observed depending on the sample’s professional profile. This study intensifies the need to provide training solutions in order to improve the quality of music education systems.
THE INFLUENCE OF EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF MUSIC STUDENTS' COMPETENCES
The art of good lesson planning and carrying out lessons using appropriate procedures, methods, techniques, in a word-technology, denotes a modern school. The success of a teaching process greatly depends on the professional competence of teachers and their knowledge of modern educational technology. Therefore, the final outcome of teacher education should be to achieve a high level of psychological-pedagogical knowledge and didactic competencies required for work in school and outside school. The course curricula and teaching content described in this paper are defined according to this guideline. The goal is to prepare students for a competitive labor market in our country and in the world, to integrate all levels of music education-from kindergarten to university, and to popularize music art. In order to determine the relationship between traditional teaching methods and lectures with the use of multimedia, research was conducted that showed that music students positively evaluated the use of multimedia in lessons. They perceive such lessons as effective, useful, understandable, interesting, dynamic, instructive and of high-quality, because they help save time and they correspond to contemporary teacher discourse.

Music Education Teachers' Knowledge and Use of ICT at Spanish Universities
International Journal of Instruction, 2021
Knowledge and use of information and communication technology (ICT) are especially important for teachers since, in addition to ICT being a key element of the teaching and learning process, how teacher use it influences whether students use it inside and outside the classroom. This article identifies the knowledge of ICT that teachers from the area of music education at Spanish universities have and how they use it, as well as their training and their views on its advantages and disadvantages in teaching and learning processes. To do this, we used an ad hoc questionnaire with a valid sample of 112 teachers. The results indicate that teachers are aware of the benefits of ICT in their own teaching and in the professional future of the students. They kept the educational needs of the students very much in mind when choosing each resource. Despite knowing the benefits, the teachers did not train their students to learn how to use ICT. The biggest concern was the technological and gender gap identified.

Gordon's Theory, carried out by students of early school and innovative music education at Kazimierz Wielki University in Bydgoszcz, Poland. Music Fairytale "e-Audiation Songbook" is the first interdisciplinary project, which is the result of cooperation between music pedagogy, computer science and mechatronics students. Despite the fact that the application has not been finished yet, it is going to be implemented, tested, assessed and evaluated (in terms of content and achievement). The initiation of such activities gives ground for long-lasting pedagogical research on academic instruction quality of future early school music education teachers, when it comes to organizing their knowledge and skills via use of E.E.

South African Journal of Education, 2019
Today, the rapid changes and developments in information and communication technologies affect all sectors, which includes a positive impact in the field of education. For this reason, it is important that teachers make effective use of technologies and keep up with innovation to meet the needs of the new generation. This research focuses on describing technology use in music education at a university in North Cyprus, according to 18 student music teachers, to highlight the extent to which technology has been integrated into music education, making recommendations for further integration. This mixed-methods study employed a questionnaire containing closed-ended questions, which were analysed quantitatively, as well as open-ended questions, which were analysed based on content analysis. Results underline the importance of curriculum updates to integrate information and communication technology into student music teacher training and the need for in-service training to keep established teachers up-to-date with innovative technologies. Future research is recommended to compare music education practices cross-culturally and to identify ways of maximising the benefits of innovations in technology for music educators.

Revista de la Universidad del Zulia, 2021
The objective of this study was to determine whether higher education institutions, teachers and students of the specialization in musical art are prepared to create and use the digital educational space in the educational process. The study involved the following methods: literature review and analysis of the content of official documents of higher educational institutions that provide professional training for music teachers; survey; mathematical methods of data processing; Statistica software package. The research has shown that not all higher educational institutions have the necessary resources to implement learning in the digital education space. Besides, not all higher educational institutions teach subjects that help improve students’ digital literacy. There are also teachers who have difficulties using the digital educational space in the learning process due to lack of digital literacy. The study demonstrated awareness of the importance of using the digital educational spa...
