My name is Dina Pollock, and I am a piano teacher in Abbotsford BC. I am a person that is always willing to learn something new, which has led to a few positions. I am the editor of the Canadian Music Teacher magazine for CFMTA/FCAPM, Progressions magazine for BCRMTA and Take Note magazine for MRMTA. I also manage a few websites.I had a knack for technology and when Covid shut everything down, I found myself in a new environment and researched how tech could help me teach my students online. I embraced this new way to teaching and worked on making the transition as easy as I can for my students and myself. Music books were a bit of an issue, sharing what students had to work on, marking in fingering, expression, all of this became easier when I started to use digital music that I could easily share on screen. Digital music became my norm in my studio. Through experimenting with options to catalog and view my digital music, I now love to share what I have learnt with other teachers that are curious about digital scores.
Session #8: Digital Music
We all know the feeling of going into a music store and looking at new music. The feel and the smell of a new book. Then buying the book and taking it home and being the first person to crack open the pages, pressing it flat and trying every song. To a musician there was nothing better, except maybe getting a new instrument, but that is a session for another day, today is about digital music.Life changed in 2020 and we all had to come up with new ways to work with our students and one was looking at digital music. For some musicians it was that one step too far from tradition and hard to accept. For some musicians they explored the possibilities that digital music offered.In this session I would like to show you the pros and cons of digital music and how to make the digital files work for you.Things that will be coveredSession #8: Digital Music
