BS: I'll be sharing the results of a fascinating research project looking at how an augmented reality piano app (think Guitar Hero with a real piano) can be used to support teaching and home practice. The research started from the premise that augmented and virtual reality is already a part of many pupils' lives and has great potential. However, it is nowhere near being able to offer the responsive, pupil-centred and relational teaching that is the foundation of human, in-person tuition. The research also threw up interesting pedagogical questions around the role of the teacher, the importance of notation, and how much a teacher's attitude to new technology impacts their pupils. So I will be unpacking a lot of this alongside two speakers from Wiltshire Music Connect: deputy hub lead Sophie Amstell and piano tutor Benjamin Woodbridge. Sophie will share a hub's perspective on the importance of adopting new tech and Benjamin will demonstrate the technology live, talking about his experiences as a tutor on the project.
