OpenEd20

This session will introduce some ways that market forces create unique challenges when engaging with music in an open education context. While exciting open resources for music scholars continue to be developed, there is a gap when considering open education for performers and applied musicians.

This presentation will present a framework for evaluating and approaching the tools and materials that applied musicians create and study and will outline ways that others can foster more productive approaches to open education for music makers. The presenters will also discuss how this work is informing approaches towards inclusive and anti-racist practices in music.


Learning Outcomes:
Identify the ways that traditional music scholarship and applied music education differ and how to support applied musicians engagement with open education
Recognize the ways that the challenges with open education and music parallel traditional academic disciplines
Compare your local music situation to two contrasting case studies to identify opportunities to expand music open education in your local context
