Tobias, E. S. (2013). Toward convergence: Adapting music education to contemporary society
and participatory culture. Music Educators Journal, 99(4), 29-36. doi:

Throughout
this
article,
Tobias
discusses
the
use
of
digital
technology
in
music
as
well
how
it
can
be
integrated
into
music
education.
By
making
music
education
more
relevant
to
the
ways
that
people
engage
with
music
in
society,
students
may
participate
in
music
practices
such
as
covering,
remixing,
or
producing
music.
musicians
from
around
the
world
to
have
the
opportunity
to
engage
in
music.
Whether
it
is
through
remixing
an
original
song,
parodying,
or
arranging
music,
the
ultimate
result
is
that
through
the
use
of
technology
individuals
can
interact
and
connect
with
one
another
worldwide.
I
believe
that
these
practices
should
be
apart
of
the
education
system,
because
it
encourages
young
students
to
be
creative,
and
it
also
would
also
help
prepare
students
that
wish
to
pursue
these
practices
in
life.
The question of what sort of pedagogy would be needed in order to integrate various
forms
of
music
into
education
programs
surprised
me,
since
I
often
think
of
what
could
be
done
to
expand
music
education,
not
necessarily
how
it
can
be
done.
I
suppose
that
sample-based
producing
and
remediating
would
be
challenging
to
integrate
into
an
education
setting,
since
there
are
often
copyright
issues
that
are
involved
with
that
sort
of
activity.
However,
I
believe
that
even
with
these
copyright
laws
in
place,
it
is
an
excellent
opportunity
for
the
students
to
work
through
dealing
with
copyright
issues
and
receiving
permission
from
record
labels,
since
they
will
encounter
this
in
life
anyways.
Tobias also questions, to what degree are we preparing students to engage with music
in
the
broad
ways
taking
place
outside
of
school
in
a
sophisticated
manner?
what
does
it
mean
to
be
musically
educated
in
the
twenty-first
century?.
As
I
thought
about
even
how
I
have
been
trained
as
a
musician,
I
realize
that
only
a
portion
of
my
training
is
applicable
to
my
life
outside
of
school.
I
find
that
the
demand
for
classical
performances
is
diminishing,
and
while
I
value
the
technique
that
I
am
being
taught
I
do
not
believe
that
it
is
practical
for
me
to
perform
classical
music
outside
of
school.
Even
at
University,
I
would
love
to
learn
about
the
technological
aspects
of
music
while
also
continuing
my
education
as
a
classical
musician.
This
way,
I
may
have
more
musical
opportunities
upon
graduating.
can
come
into
effect
because
ultimately,
music
education
should
reflect
the
music
in
todays
society.
By
integrating
technological
elements
into
music
education,
more
students
may
be
encouraged
to
interact
and
connect
with
others
through
their
creative
work.
