The hybrid study day “Issues in Music Pedagogy and Piano and Guitar Performance – Challenges, Problems, Prospects” takes place on 6 April 2024 at Lanitio Lyceum in Limassol and online. It is addressed to instrumental teachers, students, academics and Music School pupils.
The keynote presentation “Using Contemporary Technologies and Digital Media in Piano and Guitar Pedagogy” presents practical applications of digital tools in teaching the two instruments. Examples address practice, performance, creation and feedback, with emphasis on their functional integration into everyday piano and guitar lessons.
The keynote examines technology as a means of supporting different phases of individual instrumental teaching, from preparation and practice recording to listening, self-assessment and creation. Tool selection is linked with specific learner needs and musical aims so that digital support complements rather than replaces live teaching. Examples are designed to be adaptable across different levels of study, while the musical function of each technological choice remains the central criterion for use.
