Colleagues interested in this topic may like to look at our introduction
to music theory module. It is open to all free of charge, and we
recommend it to students who come to study with us but have no formal
music education experience:<br><br>

</a>The undergraduate and postgraduate modules we offer also have
significant online components, as part of a blended tuition strategy
using print materials and tutor-led interaction.<br><br>

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">Dear Colleagues,<br><br>
We would be interested in hearing about the experiences you or your
institutional colleagues have had with online teaching in music. Our
interest is not limited to music theory, but could encompass music
history, music education, other academic areas, as well as performance
studies. We are NOT interested in speculative critiques of the idea of
online education (we are perfectly capable of conjuring these
ourselves!), but rather in real-world stories from the trenches.
Responses might address:
<ul>
<li>What subject was taught?
<li>Who was the target population?
<li>Was it an online adaptation of an existing course or designed for
online delivery?
<li>Was the course wholly online or blended?
<li>What technolog(ies) were involved?
<li>Is there any statistical or anecdotal information about the course's
effectiveness, efficiency, etc., from the perspective of the students?
The instructor?
</ul>Best wishes,<br><br>
