MUSIC IN E-LEARNING CULTURE
MUSIC IN E-LEARNING CULTURE

Summary/Abstract: Although they look like a paradoxical phenomenon, vocational studies have found their place in distance education. The beginnings of this type of education can be found in Japan and Israel where experiments were conducted in the early 1990s looking for teaching methods addressing groups of children playing keyboard instruments that can be monitored through digital systems. Today we have hundreds of this type of school. Even if the subject seems to be controversial the e-learning system, with its modern distance learning concepts has a well-established tradition by the series of graduates of all major music subjects at “Gh. Dima” Music Academy in Cluj Napoca. This system and especially the possibility to update it are the main focus of my paper and I would like to offer a professional analysis as well as a number of practical ideas to adjust the education system and the methodology that can be used in a university education system that has a functional e-learning platform. The practice in the vocational music education system, both under its theoretical and practical forms implies the development of a platform and a specific support. If as far as the theoretical subjects are concerned we have a platform based on texts, graphics and experiments, in the field of music they will be based on examples from music, practical lessons, musical analysis regarding different music interpretation techniques, creativity studies and stage techniques, etc. Such a system implies a bulk of methods that can be recorded on video and that are obligatory in a student-centered interactive system.
