4- THEME & TOPICS
This workshop investigates pedagogical principles that could inform the design of ICT-based learning environments for music, particularly tutoring through social media. It brings together educators and music practitioners as well as IT experts and computer scientists.

- Stimulating musical creativity.
- Feedback in performance.
- Curriculum design.
- Achieving student motivation.
